Kohler Fellows, Lena Vincent and Kaitlin Moore created this experience to explore the limits of what both scientists and artists consider to be “life.” A cohort of nine undergraduate multimodal artists worked collaboratively with a cohort of six early career scientists representing the disciplines of astrobiology, astronomy, molecular biology, philosophy of medicine, bioinformatics, geochemistry, and more to approach, encroach, and even disrupt what might count as life, challenging human sense making and grids of intelligibility. The pieces produced by this collaboration will exist at the nexus of different scales of matter, including the planetary, biological, and the philosophical, disclosing a cosmos that exceeds current systems of thought and inhabits new realms of possibility.

The exhibit is free and open to the public at the Overture Center Playhouse Gallery and runs through August 28, 2022.
