About Bio.Fiction Science, Art & Film Festival

BIO·FICTION explored the emerging field of synthetic biology from different disciplinary angles including science and engineering, social science, cultural studies, amateur biology, filmmakers, artists and designers. We had presentations, panel discussions, do-it-yourself biology demos, performances, artwork and of course film screenings. Our international short film competition introduced documentaries, animation and fiction shorts that explored the thematic. To date, BIO·FICTION on Tour has stopped at 20+ locations across the world from Berlin to Ubatuba, with additional events planned.

BIO-FICTION將從科學、工程、社會學、文化研究、業餘生物學、電影製作人、藝術家和設計師的角度探索新興的合成生物學。BIO-FCTION節包括了講座、討論會、DIY生物示範、表演、藝術展覽與短片播放，其中的國際短片比賽推動紀錄片、動畫、虛構小說短片去探索這個領域，至今BIO-FICTION在由柏林至烏巴圖巴等世界二十多個地方巡迴展出。
