From the phylogenetic analysis of plants, to the data representation of the human genome project, studying the subject on a screen has replaced the study of the material artefact. For the general public, astronomy remains a question of looking at the stars in the night sky, whereas for astronomers the use of optical telescopes is a thing of the past \u2013 so the question emerges \u201cwhere is the thing?\u201d Invited speakers, artists and delegates will explore the increasing condition of knowing \u2018things\u2019 in two places: the material artifact in your hand and it\u2019s instance in a database. Through three themes of Data, Flesh and Interstices, pairs of protagonists across the fields of Computational Systems Biology, Digital Arts, Science, Technology and Innovation Studies, Image Analysis and Clinical Neurosciences will present narratives that describe their relationship with material\/immaterial biological things. The event also includes an exhibition of artworks which propose possibilities and create oddities relating to the living and life-related artefacts, and a participatory \u201cShow &amp; Tell\u201d workshop for delegates to reveal their own \u2018things\u2019 that slip between material and immaterial forms. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.evaporationofthings.com\">www.evaporationofthings.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Register <a href=\"http:\/\/evaporationofthings.eventbrite.com\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Maria Grade Godinho and I have worked up this event: The Evaporation of Things 13th &amp; 14th March 2013, 12:30pm.
