Paul Vanouse, Rosa Menkman, Michael Hoch
| Host: Simón Ortega
In this discussion we talk with media artists Paul Vanouse and Rosa Menkman and physicist Johny Jaramillo about the different notions of the body from both artistic and scientific perspectives, understanding its virtual, social and material character. In relation to the new ways of existing, how do machines enable new ways of thinking about the body and the matter of which it is constituted?

He has also dedicated himself to art and the opening of scientific knowledge, his visit would bring to Colombia the possibility of learning about the union of art and science and its implications.
