bioCurrents explores the cultivation of slow spaces and sensory regeneration through techno-gardening. Interweaving responsive systems and eco-temporal sensibilities, the event questions what we can regain by designing technology around cycles of rest and response, rather than adapting biorhythms to the pace of digital systems.

​

Delving into biofeedback loops, electrical ecosystems, and recorded time, bioCurrents examines ways to bridge the rift between technologically driven rapidity and the gradual changes inherent to biological networks. Focusing on tech-mediated acts of reconnection, it invites practicing ecological tending by interfacing, inhabiting and sensing the environment.
