Bits, Bytes & Biodiversity emerged from the  Graduate Campus commitment to transdisciplinary networking at the University of Zurich and is continued by the Art x Science Office at the Direktion Immobilien und Betrieb (DIB) of the UZH. The exhibition was made possible by the Zurich Universities Digitalization Initiative (DIZH) and the Foundation Mercator Switzerland. We thankImpact Acoustic for the acoustic material made from recycled PET.
