The sentinel self by Sissel Marie Tonn

20/11/2025
Scientific partner: Area Science Park Trieste


Innovation catalyst: Rosanna Di Nuzzo (on behalf of MEET Digital Culture Center - RSC Project "Repairing the Present")


The artist explores behaviours of human cells interacting (and co-evolving) with external "others" such as pathogens and microplastics. It explores immunological processes within the body that challenge our culturally informed notions of 'selfhood', evoking us to rethink the binary division between self and non-self.
