Fara Peluso is a Berlin-based artist-designer who, through speculative research, plays on how to connect human beings with nature, living organisms and biological processes in a new, deeper relationship. By observing these relationships, she aims to cancel the notion that humans are the most important living organisms on earth. As an artist-designer with a strong interest in biology, Fara Peluso pursues her deep research on algae taking constant inspiration from them and enquiring into their poetry and agency through a transdisciplinary and speculative methodology. Between 2018 and 2020, Peluso has been a guest at the Institute of Biotechnology TU in Berlin as a resident artist for the project Mind the Fungi. In 2022, she spent nine months in residency at Ars Electronica, regional S+T+ARTS center in Linz, with her new collaborative project Circular Records about LP bioplastic manufacturing.
