Join Wakanene (Sebastian) Kamau, a PhD student in the Program in Media Arts and Sciences here at MIT, for a conversation exploring the work of Pierre Huyghe in "Symbionts".
In this talk, Kamau discusses strategies for naviagating interspecies cohabitation and the ethics of engineering wild populations of pests. Kamau's scientific research meets themes in Huyghe's piece "Spider" by examining the boundaries between carefully controlled spaces, like the laboratory or the gallery, and conceptions of the wild.
