The USC IGM Art Gallery endorses the Wine Noir vision during our exhibition, Bionics: The Elements and Social Order, as we partner in exploring the rich complexities of environmental and economic realities and their psychological impact as subjects of a four month study and focus for events considering art, science and social order in their broadest senses. The exhibit ion and associated events probe how knowledge of structural laws of nature and the scientific process can aid us in social decision making and stewardship of sustainable business, natural and institutional systems.
The tensions between the individual and nature and the individual and institutions constitute discussions during our shared events. The exhibition is a tool to open discussion on
navigating today’s profoundly changing world. To confront the daunting task of building new frameworks for conscious social evolution, a collective vision and road map into the deep future are required. Enjoying excellent cuisine and California wines plays a part in our mindful discussions!
