Re-design of the living: What implications does synthetic biology have for an ecology of the anthropocene? Could the bioengineers be considered as experts for the sixth extinction of species?

The Field Exploration begins with Daisy Ginsberg's artwork entitled Designing for the Sixth Extinction: She invites you to a scientific and historical expedition into the topic of biodiversity – expanding into the past and possible futures of synthetic biology. The journey becomes a search for new perspectives and nevertheless critical positions to the question of the urgency of the Anthropocene.
