Episode Summary:Meanwhile patiently observing and exploring every single bit of the fascinating Unknown Unknowns. An Introduction to Mysteries exhibition at the 23rd International Exposition at Triennale Milano, curated by Ersilia Vaudo, we were mesmerised by an underwater robotic installation. In this episode we meet British bio artist Anna Dumitriu, who tells us more about the artwork ArcheaBot, reimagining what a post climate change life might be - a post singularity life-form. Based on a ground breaking research on archaea - a group of unicellular microorganisms believed to be the oldest form of life on earth - combined with the latest innovations in artificial intelligence and machine learning, Anna has collaborated with Alex May to create the ‘ultimate' species that can adapt to live in extreme conditions, able to survive the end of our world. The pioneering visual artist speaks about her extraordinary practice in between art and biology and the role of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) in an altered future life, laying the importance Alan Turing's Imitation Game has assumed in the philosophy of mind and quoting ideas of Elon Musk discussing possible solutions for Climate Change.The Speaker:Anna Dumitriu is an award winning, internationally renowned, British artist who works with BioArt, sculpture, installation, and digital media to explore our relationship to infectious diseases, synthetic biology and robotics. Her work is held in several major public collections, including the Science Museum London and Eden Project.Follow Anna 's journey on InstagramHosts: Farah Piriye & Elizabeth Zhivkova, ZEITGEIST19 FoundationSign up for ZEITGEIST19's newsletter at https://www.zeitgeist19.comFor sponsorship enquiries, comments, ideas and collaborations, email us at info@zeitgeist19.com Follow us on Instagram and TwitterHelp us to continue our mission and to develop our podcast: Donate

Critical Zones | Terrestrische Universität [12.11.2020] with Julia Pongratz and Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro How do we use land? How do we nurture georefuges in the age of extinction? These questions will be the starting point of our Terrestrial University, where the voices of climate researcher Prof. Dr. Julia Pongratz and artist Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro will meet. In this dialogue, we will encounter the many ramifications of the question: how do we use land, and what are the effects of land use on climate? What land do we live on, and how does climate change affect it? Are there »right« uses of land, and what kind of politics do they require? Such questions ask for terrestrial approaches: entangled within the global and the local, navigating the planetary scale and local ecosystems. »Becoming terrestrial«, as the notion of the »Critical Zone« demands, also means knowing what land we care for, and what shelters we may maintain and where our refuges are – some more aspects this interdisciplinary encounter might reflect on. Julia Pongratz is full professor for Physical Geography and Land Use Systems at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität of Munich. She studied geography at the LMU and the University of Maryland, received her PhD from the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology/University of Hamburg on the early impact of human activity on climate, and conducted research on geoengineering and food security at the Carnegie Institution, Department of Global Ecology, Stanford. Since 2013 she has been leading a research group at the Max Planck Institute for Meteorology on Earth system modeling and land use effects. She is a member of the Scientific Steering Committee of the Global Carbon Project and contributes as author to the latest and upcoming Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Stéphane Verlet-Bottéro is an artist, environmental engineer, and curator. At the crossroads of research, social practice, and activism, his work develops territory-based strategies that explore ecologies of care. He is a lecturer at Ecole Centrale Paris, curator at NA Project since 2012, a researcher at Unbewitch Finance Lab, a cofounding agent of the art and permaculture platform Zone Sensible. He co-published »Même si on pense que c’est foutu« (L’Harmattan, 2017), a book on grassroots movements and radical ecology. Recent exhibitions and performances include »Ruines et Futurs« (Partcours Festival, Dakar), »The School of Mutants« (Oslo Architecture Triennale), »Rituals to Unbewitch Finance« (Aurillac Festival), »Forum for Radical Imagination and Environmental Knowledge« (Sorbonne University). He has had curatorial collaborations with Institut Kunst (Basel), Technê Institute (Buffalo), Artsadmin (London), Science Museum (London), documenta (13) (Kassel).

Science Director at the Science Museum London, Roger Highfield, explains what science is doing to combat Covid-19.     

It's always a noisy place.

In a desperate gamble to encourage the USA to come to Britain's aid during their most desperate of days of WW2, Churchill dispatched Sir Henry Tizard to America bearing a small metal box... Tizard's Trunk.  Inside were some of the most closely guarded technological secrets that Britain had to offer.     Images displayed under Creative Commons licence with thanks to Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Science Museum London and the MIT Museum.
