FeLT- The Futures of Living Technologies

Abstract

FeLT- The Futures of Living Technologies is a research project, but also an initiative to build an environment for interdisciplinary research and education of national and international significance with a strong innovative and reflexive profile. The term Living Technologies points to an investigation of existing and future technologies where computers and robots incorporate functions of living and biological systems. We see this in an ecological and societal context where education, research and innovation are interlinked. The research involves student projects, project residencies by guest artists and researchers and activities open to students and colleagues as well as research by project members. Through collaboration between artists, researchers in ICT, humanities and creative concept developments, innovative methods and processes are explored and reflected on.
