LIFE BOWL auf der Business of Design Week in Hongkong (20.11.)
A Transcultural Dialogue on Longevity
LIFE BOWL is conceived as an open public arena where cutting-edge molecular life sciences and Traditional Chinese Medicine meet in direct dialogue.
Together with media art pioneer Jeffrey Shaw and the Visualization Research Centre at Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU), we are creating an environment where complex longevity research is translated into an interactive, embodied experience.
Through a custom-built 3D augmented reality setting, visitors will engage directly with AI-powered conversational avatars. Rather than relying on generic web queries, these avatars draw upon a dedicated, vetted knowledge base built from in-depth research and conversations with the world’s leading longevity and aging researchers, including:
Michael N. Hall (Biozentrum, Universität Basel)
Bian Zhaoxiang (Hong Kong Baptist University)
Venki Ramakrishnan (Biomedical Campus Cambridge)
Steve Horvath (Altos Labs / UCLA)
Matt Kaeberlein (Universität Washington / Optispan)
Linda Partridge (Max-Planck-Institut für Biologie des Alterns / UCL)
Anne Schäfer (Max-Planck-Institut für Biologie des Alterns / Mount Sinai)
Fiona Marshall (Präsidentin für biomedizinische Forschung, Novartis)
Tony Wyss-Coray (Stanford-Universität)
Neben diesen molekularen Perspektiven integriert das System die grundlegenden Philosophien, diagnostischen Paradigmen und präventiven Praktiken der TCM, die im Dialog mit den wegweisenden Fakultätsmitgliedern der HKBU entwickelt wurden.
