The Algae Society (http://algaesociety.org/) BioArt Design Lab is a global collective of interdisciplinary researchers working together with algae as a non-human international research partner. As a collaborative group of artists, scientists and scholars, they experiment, design, and exhibit with algae, working from a companion and multispecies studies approach. They
share their evolving interdisciplinary process, highlighting artistic works from Algae Society members and invited guests while reflecting on each researcher’s aim, process, materiality, and aesthetic considerations. With these works they endeavor to ignite societal behavioral shifts and direct action in response to the challenges that human-algal ecosystems face under climate change
