The eighth
installment of the Polytech 360 International Science and Technology Festival
will run in Moscow from November 22 through December 2.
Curated by the
Polytechnic Museum together with the Beat Film Festival crew, the festival
features a program of documentaries, lectures and discussions on scientific
discoveries and the future. This year the program is focused on optimistic and
pessimistic views of technologies shaping our lives. An integral part of the festival
is its discussion program: the issues raised in the festival's films will be
discussed by leading scientists, experts, and popularizers of science.
Among the
highly anticipated events of the festival are a lecture and a workshop by Joe
Davis, a research affiliate in the Department of Biology at MIT and founder of
bio art.
