The main focus of our project lays on complexity. How does it emerge? How can we handle it? But also: what can we learn from it and what can we use it for? Our human practice project approaches these problems from three different sites: by listening, by discussing and by imparting. The first part consists of a survey treating complexity. By listening to the public we learn about the prevalent ideas of complexity and the relationship of people to it. Discussions with experts of different professions show how they deal with complexity in their field and how we might profit of this profound, interdisciplinary knowledge. The various methods of resolution are compared in an assay. Finally, we impart knowledge at different occasions such as in high school lessons or during a science slam. We aim at explaining synthetic biology and how it can be a measure to approach complexity.
