From 16th to 20th May, Danish artist\u00a0Sissel Marie Tonn<\/strong>\u00a0has been guest at\u00a0Area Science Park\u2019s<\/strong>\u00a0labs to work on her art residency project\u00a0\u201cThe Sentinel Immune Self\u201d<\/strong>. She is the winner of the \u201cPreserving co-evolution\u201d challenge organised as part of the\u00a0European S+T+ARTS programme<\/strong>. S+T+ARTS (Science + Technology + Arts) is a European Commission initiative launched under the Horizon 2020 programme which encourages\u00a0hybrid collaboration between science, technology and art<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0art residency<\/strong>\u00a0is organised as part of the research work carried out by the institution and some of the centres in the system. Organised in collaboration with Milan\u2019s\u00a0MEET Digital Cultural Center<\/strong>, it is one of 21 fellowships funded across Europe by the programme.<\/p>\n

The theme for the challenge was\u00a0Preserving sustainability and inclusiveness in the co-evolution<\/strong>, that is: \u201cHow can we preserve the evolution of species by improving the ability of communities to be resilient?\u201d. The greatest challenges of our time \u2013 issues such as mass extinctions, viral pandemics and climate change \u2013 serve as a reminder that we are intrinsically connected to our ecosystems. In her arts research, Sissel Marie Tonn has been exploring the relationship between our immune system and our constantly changing environment for some years, including with the help of\u00a0immunologists and toxicologists<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

She has been talking to a number of researchers from Trieste\u2019s research hub since March of this year. Among them are\u00a0Alessio Ansuini<\/strong>\u00a0and the research team working on data science and computing infrastructures at\u00a0Area Science Park<\/strong>;\u00a0Jacopo Grilli<\/strong>, a researcher at the\u00a0ICTP<\/strong>\u00a0working on theoretical and mathematical models to define the factors impacting terrestrial biodiversity; and\u00a0Lisa Vaccari<\/strong>, an experimental scientist at\u00a0Elettra Sincrotrone Trieste<\/strong>\u00a0who uses various techniques in her research, from spectroscopy to microscopy, applying them to different study topics, from materials science to biology.<\/p>\n

Through the lens of an\u00a0immersive, interactive animation<\/strong>, the artist will use the information gleaned from researchers and her upcoming visit to the labs at Area Science Park, to reconstruct a science-fiction universe<\/strong>\u00a0in which humans share their immune response with all other species affected by\u00a0microplastic pollution<\/strong>. As an allegory of the process of evolution, the project is intended to\u00a0warn us<\/strong>\u00a0against the profound consequences pollutants have on us and our ecosystem.<\/p>\n

The artist\u2019s works will be on display to the public from October 2022 at the\u00a0Maxxi Museum<\/strong>\u00a0in Rome, the\u00a0MEET Digital Culture Center<\/strong>\u00a0in Milan,\u00a0Ars Electronica<\/strong>\u00a0in Linz (Austria) and\u00a0ZKM, Center for Art and Media<\/strong>\u00a0in Karlsruhe (Germany).<\/p>\n

\u201cResearchers today have to be able to explain their research findings in a clear and understandable way to reach as many people as possible,\u201d says Area Science Park President Professor\u00a0Caterina Petrillo<\/strong>.\u00a0\u201cThis requires exploring new languages, stimulating contamination between different disciplines \u2013 one of which is, without doubt, art, which has the same creative path as science. Bringing together these two seemingly disparate worlds stimulates new ideas and thought processes on both sides, which leads to new forms of innovation.\u201d<\/p>\n
