The Algae Society BioArt Design Lab is a global collective of interdisciplinary researchers working together with algae as non-human international research partners. As a collaborative group of artists, scientists and scholars, they experiment and co-produce with algae, seeking to highlight complex human interdependence and kinship with algal beings. Here they introduce the Algae Society and share a collective collage of their evolving artistic works while reflecting on each researcher's process, materiality, and aesthetic considerations. With these works, they endeavor to shift our perspectives from human-centric exceptionalism to greater appreciation and cultural reframing of our responsibility as participants in multispecies worlding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
