POLYPHONIC FUTURES
About Polyphonic Futures
Polyphonic Futures is a growing ideas laboratory and research platform that examines cutting-edge biomaterials science through collectively generated, speculative futures.
Veronica Ranner invites participants (experts in their own field (m/w/d) – artists, designers, scientists, writers, technologists, academics, and activists, to join her for a half-day-long workshop to critically explore body interfacing and transient materials — especially ‘reverse engineered silk’ — a biomaterial currently confined to laboratories. In this transdisciplinary workshop, the participants develop their own vision on the spectrum of future body interfacing — from ‘wearables’ to ‘implantables’ — and share feedback on previous submissions.
The workshop is free of charge, but places are limited. For securing a place, please send a short bio and a few words about your motivation to participate (max. 200 words) to the following address: veronica.ranner@ntu.edu.sg
