Nature and Tecnology workshop: Alejandro Tamayo

The workshops starts inviting to reflect about that what still marvels you about Nature. And by Nature we would like you to consider it in its widest possible way. Not only as that what we usually call the “green” part of nature, or our immediate human-scale nature, but in its widest spectrum that ranges from the limits of the Universe, the creation of galaxies and so forth, to the structure and conformation of matter from its deepest level possible, and to be aware of the special place of human beings in this spectrum.

This is an invitation to start reflecting about Nature in two directions: From up to bottom and from bottom up. From a cosmological angle down to a microscopic point of view and vice-versa. Try to identify and be able to express to others that what marvels you the most. That what you still find as magic, poetic and deeply inspiring.

The aim of the workshop will be to study the relationship between Nature and Technology, exploring the creation of technology from a sensitive point of view. It will be composed of a reflective aspect in which we will hold discussions in an open and spontaneous way and a hands-on approach in which everyone will be following a creative and sensitive process. The results of the workshop will be socialized in an open exhibition and with a public presentation.
