Inhalte	Arts meets science at 2436 meters on the Furka Pass, literally. The Furkablick Hotel, centre of the famous FurkArt activities in the 80ies and 90ies, and 50 meters further the old military camp now serving as the headquarters for the Alpine Research Station Furka (ALPFOR). The non-profit association ALPFOR, affiliated to the University of Basel is running the research station. ALPFOR's aim is to monitor and study biodiversity and the behaviour of alpine plants and the impact of global change. It offers ideal conditions for scientists, students and naturalists to understand and explore the alpine environment. Project week Erika Hiltbrunner and Christian Körner, both biologists, will lead us through a five-day workshop. Inputs will touch on the living conditions of alpine plants, the microclimates they create, their taxonomy, but also why diversity matters in the alpine landscape. We will get insights into how biologists work with “nature”, how they categorize it and how they structure the environment with scientific tools. By putting the small and tiny into the centre of our attention, we try and see what usually stays hidden when crossing an alpine grassland. Once we gained some deeper knowledge about the location, the plants and soils of the alpine habitats, there will also be time to develop individual projects that allow to try out and question artistic strategies that allow to move within this biosphere. Participants Besides the ALPFOR team and the students and teachers of ZHdK, PhD students of the Urner Institut der Kulturen der Alpen of the University of Lucerne, run by Boris Previsic will also take part in the project week. This will offer a further exchange between the different ways of knowing in the Arts, represented by ZHdK, the Sciences, representd by ALPFOR and the Humanities, represented by the Urner Institut der Kulturen der Alpen.
