The 8th Bio-Art International Contest

Add to Favorites Report Listing

■ The Theme: Human and Virus

 The COVID-19 pandemic has caused a great deal of material and social damage. On the other hand, it has also given us the opportunity to reconsider what we have taken for granted. The Earth has been warning us through various infectious diseases such as SARS and MERS, and COVID-19, that maybe this is the last signal from The Earth to mankind. The counterattack of the virus begins with the destruction of the balance with nature being destroyed. The international community needs to be more united, cooperative, and active in communicating with each other. The 8th Bio-Art International Contest is held under the theme of "Virus and Humans." We look forward to taking time to think about humanity through works with many messages.
