RMeS RMa course: Arts, Life Science and Digital Culture
November-December 2023 | Leiden University
In this course students examine ethical and humanistic dimensions of life sciences through art and reflect on the application of digital methods within science. From the onset of medical research in history, the cultural worlds of art and science have interacted. More recently, artists have been directly inspired by the fields of genetics, bioinformatics and biophysics and by the media employed and generated by them. The science-art relationship has become an exciting and dynamic field where controversial ethical issues, societal consequences of technoscience, and the art of science itself are being addressed.
RMeS Conference – All About Media?
/in RMeS News /by Chantal9 & 10 November 2023 | Amsterdam – LAB111
RMeS was founded in 2011 and was instrumental in establishing and institutionalising the field in the Netherlands. To explore and actively shape new directions for Media Studies, RMeS invites submissions for the upcoming conference All About Media? The Future for Media Studies. The event will be held at LAB111 in Amsterdam from 9-10 November 2023.
On the occasion of its twelve and a half year anniversary, the Research School for Media Studies (RMeS) aims to unite the Dutch Media Studies community to discuss what it means to study media when they are ubiquitous. How will, and should, the discipline develop in the future? What questions will be relevant and what challenges should we address? What will we study at our next anniversary in 2035?
