Laura Beloff (Ph.D.) is an internationally acclaimed artist and a researcher at Aalto University in Finland, in the cross section of art, technology and science. Her work deals with the merger of the technological and biological matter at large. The research engages with the areas such as art & science, human enhancement, wearable artistic interventions, biosemiotics, biological matter, artificial life, artificial intelligence, robotics, and information technology in connection to art, humans, environment and society.
Erich Berger is an artist, curator, and researcher based in Helsinki. He currently works at the University of Oulu in Finland, where he conducts interdisciplinary research into how artists approach temporalities beyond human-centred time, combining cultural anthropology, geology and art. His current artistic focus lies on issues of deep time and hybrid ecology which led him to work with geological processes, radiogenic phenomena, and their socio-political implications in the here and now.
