Art installation at new home for D-BSSE

From 11-14 July, the art-in-construction project designed by Yves Netzhammer was installed at the new ETH-edifice in Basel. At the heart of this artwork entitled “Evasive manoeuvres of biological attraction” is a central cylinder of 16 metres height holding a robotic arm which keeps in motion three strings and several elements tied to them. The installation questions themes of morphogenesis and reflects with artistic means on the working and research context of the D-BSSE.
