Darty Monkeys is an initiative within Hackuarium, which seeks to encourage artists, scientific, and/or creators to maintain a dialogue with the public about bio-technological advances, artificial systems and possible futures.

It will be presented at Openhackuarium_vol._64_Special_d+arty_monkeys the 23rd of September. Ongoing projects related to DIY, bioart and speculative design will also be introduced. We will also provide time and space afterwards for discussions about the urge to increase the odds of achieving desirable futures and issuing the perpetuation of hierarchical dualism related to eugenics, sex and ethnic origin. It initiates conversations and promotes projects about ethical, ecological, socio-politico-economic and cultural issues and discusses the impact that the latest developments have on have on society: GMO, bioethics, posthuman, post-city, life sciences, etc.

Its first project since its creation is Living Instruments, a collaboration between Hackuarium and WE Spoke to create different living instruments in order to make a live performance. The musician will make his first residence in September 19 - 23.
