Design Researcher and Interaction Designer from Nottingham Trent University's Centre for Interactive Wearables Design Giulia Tomasello specialises in biomaterials and wearable computing.

Drop-in any time between 6.00PM - 7.30PM where Giulia will be present in the gallery to lead a discussion on the future of biohacking, demonstrate examples of biotextiles and present some of her speculative projects, including:

• Future Flora - exploring the possibility of wearing living organisms in the future, aiming towards a new health proposition of female biophilia.
• Bio-conductive Skin - exploring the potential for augmenting living tissue with electronic components and conductive materials to create a new type of ‘second-skin’ interface.

Tuesday 17 October, 6.00PM - 7.30PM

Artist and Near Now Fellow Erica Scourti will perform a live post-mortem of her Empathy Deck project — "a Twitter bot with feelings".

The bot is designed to respond to followers' tweets with unique cards, attempting to share an empathic response based on the artists' own similar experiences. 

Erica will explore the automation of intangible human qualities like empathy, friendship and care, questioning whether an artificial or android intelligence can really know what it means to be human.

Empathy Deck was commissioned by Wellcome Collection for their recent exhibition 'Bedlam: The Asylum and Beyond'.

*Due to limited space at this event, please RSVP to reserve your seat.

Wednesday 18 October, 6.00PM - 7.30PM
