The Art and Science Bus seeks to highlight our dual role as both part of an external ecosystem and as ecosystems within ourselves. By fostering a dialogue between contemporary art and recent advances in the life sciences, the project explores the benefits and dangers of the way our bodies interact with bacteria, our relationship to the waste we generate, and the interfaces between internal and external microbial worlds. It also examines how viruses, fungi and bacteria not only inhabit us but also cross the boundaries between species, emphasizing the environment’s role as a space of continuous exchange. Traveling to various parks in São Paulo, the exhibition presents the diverse organisms that, along with us, shape the ecosystem in which we are embedded.
