The First International Congress of Aesthetics (ICA) was organized by Max<\/span>
\nDessoir in Berlin in 1913. A second congress took place in Paris in 1937.<\/span>
\nInterrupted by the Second World War, the congresses resumed in 1956, when<\/span>
\nthe third congress was held in Venice. Until 2000 all congresses were held<\/span>
\nin Europe. An increasing interest in aesthetics and a greater concern for<\/span>
\ninternational communication has enlarged the geographical scope to include a<\/span>
\nglobal perspective. The 19th Jubilee Congress will take place exactly one<\/span>
\nhundred years after the first congress in Berlin 1913.<\/span><\/p>\n

–<\/span>
\nThe Cultured Cell: Reframing Life<\/span>
\nProf. Suzanne Anker (School of Visual Arts, New York, United States)<\/span><\/p>\n

Revisioning life through technological intervention continues to create<\/span>
\nliving matter in novel and sometimes controversial ways. From frozen embryos<\/span>
\nand stem cells to purple and orange cauliflower to bio-printed organs, the<\/span>
\ncultured cell is a living technological entity. Coming into existence<\/span>
\nthrough means of biological mimicry and selective breeding, how can these<\/span>
\norganisms be classified in Linnaean terms? Tissue culturing of plants can<\/span>
\ncreate a million molecularly identical plants from a small amount of stock.<\/span>
\nPlants can be made from stems and leaves, assigning a new status to seeds.<\/span>
\nIn light of Walter Benjamin\u2019s seminal essay, \u201cThe Work of Art in the Age of<\/span>
\nMechanical Reproduction,\u201d we now turn our attention to mechanical<\/span>
\nreproduction of living entities. This talk will address the expanding fields<\/span>
\nof Bio Art and design and the ways in which they are being incorporated into<\/span>
\nthe social order.<\/span><\/p>\n
