A new film by Serafeim Parasologlou Marathias, a student of the Department of Audio and Visual Arts, titled TTTlabs BioFeral.BeachCamp (BFBC): New Repro-Zombie Studies (NR-ZS) – Undead Bioart / Bodyart on the Beach, offers an in-depth look at a unique artist residency program held from April 5 to April 14, 2024, at the Annex of the Athens School of Fine Arts in Rethymno, Crete. Organized by the Interactive Arts Laboratory team of the Ionian University as part of the Feral Labs network and the EU-funded Rewilding Cultures program, the initiative brought together artists and researchers to explore topics such as reproductive technologies, genetic modification, and the concept of the "non-living organism."

Interdisciplinary Collaboration

Among the participants were WhiteFeather Hunter, Marko Markovic, Kim Doan Quoc, Wave (Weeratouch) Pongruengkiat, Natalie Jeremijenko, Prathima Muniyappa, Anastasia Mandel, Shih Wei Chieh, Viktoria Koniaeva, Kelly Tarenidi, Elli Leventeri, Serafeim Parasologlou Marathias, Uroš Veber, and Elizabeth Littlejohn. Guided by Adam Zaretsky and Dalila Honorato, the residency combined scientific research with artistic practice through a series of workshops and performances. The film documents these interactions, presenting both the process and the outcomes of this innovative initiative.
