North//South Convergence: The Holobiont Research Project # 2

We were granted funding from the Nordic Culture Point in order to research art and culture in Athens during the timeframe around the 14th edition of documenta which will partially take place in Athens in 2017. The conclusions from this have lead us to start implementing practical interactions, visits and collaborations between international artists, cultural workers and academics and will be developed into a larger project in the near future.

HOLOBIONT noun ho·lo·bi·ont (ˈhō-lə-bī-ŏnt)
(Greek, from holos (όλος), whole; bios (βίος), life; -ont, to be; whole unit of life):

The basic and strict definition of holobiont is that it is a host organism (plant or animal) in interaction with all associated microorganisms as an entity for selection in evolution.. Holobiont describes a long-term physical association between different living organisms encompassing all symbiotic associations, including parasites, mutualists, synergists, and amensalists.
