Bioart is coming to Victoria! Jennifer Willet (Windsor, ON) presents NATURAL SCIENCE a touring exhibition that undermines traditional hierarchies between the natural and un-natural worlds. Specimens intermingle in unusual ways challenging the protocols of traditional laboratory work. The project is inspired by art and science research conducted in a portable lab constructed in the Rocky Mountains during a residency at the Banff Centre. This unique collection of bioart research serves to re-imagine the role that biotechnology plays in our shared natural history.

Victoria audiences will have the opportunity to contribute to this growing collection of experiments by participating in workshops, talks and the DIY LIFE: Art + Science + Ecology Fair. Scheduled for Saturday, June 25 in the Fisherman's Wharf Park, the fair will be a gathering of art, science and ecology projects, groups and organizations coming together to explore possibilities for an innovative, creative and sustainable future. The results of the Victoria workshops and fair will documented in the DIY LIFE HACK zine and become a local contribution to the exhibition and Willet's ongoing research into our relations and responsibilities to the other life forms we share our planet and our laboratories with.
