In Conversation: Heather Dewey-Hagborg and Annalee Newitz

Join artist and biohacker Heather Dewey-Hagborg and science writer Annalee Newitz for a lively conversation exploring the generative intersection of art and science. Dewey-Haborg’s 2019 installation Lovesick, on view in MYR, was made in collaboration with research scientists and depicts a custom retrovirus that increases production of oxytocin (the “love hormone”) in the human body. Newitz explores both science fiction and nonfiction in their award-winning articles, books, and podcasts. Together, the two will discuss the increasingly blurring lines between the natural and the unnatural, ethically, philosophically, and in practice. This conversation is co-presented with the Exploratorium, where Dewey-Hagborg is Artist-in-Residence.
