Poster

Citizens come together on an artistic and biological basis to work and programme together – at first, out of curiosity for teamwork, or being a team already with a common idea.

Together, ideas for projects will be sounded out which may be developed and promoted subsequently. The organizers take part in all thinking and working processes and contribute their ideas to language, politics, philosophy, technical devices, and biology concerning biodiversity. After two days and nights at the ideas workshop two or three promising approaches shall be picked for further development.

For more information see www.biodivkultur.de/hackathon/. The number of participants is limited, however, all applications, even provisional, are welcome.

Pick up our impulses, themes, and provocations:

• Where are they, the insects? What do they want to tell us?
• A boundary experience: How nice can be disgusting?
• The insects are dying out. Some speak of biocide.
• Variety of species: Why don’t we do it by ourselves?
• Biodiversity in the country and in the city
• Politics for insects, together and for everybody

The Universtitäs- und Landesbibliothek Darmstadt is member of DiNArDa e.V. and partner in the cooperative project „Drei-dimensionale Digitalisierung von Insekten – Allseitige Bildgebung und photogrammetrische oberflächenrekonstruktion“.
