+  description: "Viviana Druga is a Romanian ritualista based in Berlin who uses performance and photography and installation based work as her main forms of expression. She was born in Transylvania – Romania. Until the age of 12 she would visit together with her sister the grandparents living near the Carpathian mountains. Her childhood was influenced by the free life of the mountain area and the Christian – orthodox Mysticism brought in by her mother. Before she left Romania in 2008 she was predominantly interested in the social side of art, performing activist art actions in Bucharest such as infiltrating the international biennial, photographing herself with the president on the street while being dressed like a guerrilla, and convincing people to pose in their swimsuits in winter at a busy intersection where an off-limits park had been constructed. Since she moved to Berlin, she has been investigating the personal, poetic side of performing, the new dimensions of reality and capturing that reality through photography – using art as a magical activity that can help the subject / audience discover new dimensions of oneself."

Moro is an electronic musician, visual artist and light designer working with self-made technologies, both software and hardware to create immersive performances, sensitive sculptures, light scenographies and generative graphics.
+
+His visual and sound practices cross-pollinate each other and explore new narratives through feedback loops, unstable structures, systems based on unpredictable events and ordered chaos.
+
+This talk will be dedicated to present some recent works and collaborations circling around the technology hybridisation often applied. Discussing the club as an experimentation playground and the nonexistent line separating sound, light and image creation in the digital context."

     "description": "Sofia Crespo is an artist working at the intersection of biology and technology. She is interested in the interplay between organic life, artificial mechanisms, simulation, evolution, and the idea that technologies are a biased product of the organic life that created them. Sofia is also concerned with the dynamic changes in the roles of artists working with machine learning and AI techniques. Inspired by the Codex Seraphinianus, Growing a Neural Zoo is an exploration of the ways that creativity operates: the combination of known elements into a new previously unseen artifact. The creator in this case would be the algorithm itself, but with a human artist as its muse. Isn’t all art made by humans an execution or reshaping of data absorbed through biological neurons? How can we continue to inspire machines to create art for us as emotional human beings.",

In parallel to their scientific career, Razoux started to explore an interdisciplinary creative landscape and has gradually become an active member of the Art & Science community. Bridging science, art, design and technology, Razoux uses various media to explore the dichotomy between the body and the mind. Their work was presented in London (Burnout, 2015), the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin (Gray Matters, 2017) and most recently MONOM, Berlin Center for Spatial Sound (Sgr-A*, 2018). Razoux is the founder of Zweigeist Berlin, a platform that promotes open science and encourages the dialogue between scientists and the public on diverse neuroscientific topics.
