Christian Sardet<\/p>\n

Christian Sardet received his PhD from the University of California Berkeley. In the 1980s, he established a Cell and Developmental Biology Research Unit at the Observatoire oc\u00e9anologique de villefranche-sur-mer (OOV) where he now serves as Research Director Emeritus under the joint auspices of the Centre national de la recherche scientifique (CNRS) and the Universit\u00e9 Paris 6, P. & M. Curie.
\nAs one of the cofounders and coordinators of the Tara Oceans expedition, Sardet himself navigated the globe filming and photographing plankton. He works closely with No\u00e9 Sardet and Sharif Mirshak, \u201cThe Macronauts,\u201d notably on photograp\u200bh\u200bic exhibitions, multimedia projects and a site “Plankton Chronicles,” produced with the CNRS by their company Parafilms in Montreal. The team bridges art and science to foster broader appreciation of evolution, biology and ecology by means of documentaries, animated films and exhibitions.
\nSardet was awarded the 2007 European Award for Communication in Life Sciences from the European Molecular Biology Organization (EMBO). His publications include the book Plankton: Wonders of the Drifting World (Ulmer, 2013, Kawade Shobo: 2014, University of Chicago: 2015).<\/div><\/div>\n

Shiro Takatani<\/p>\n

Shiro Takatani, one of Japan\u2019s best-known visual artists, has been involved in designing exhibition installations for KYOTOGRAPHIE.
\nBorn in 1963 in Nara, Takatani became a co-founder of the internationally-known artist collective, Dumb Type, while still a student at Kyoto City University of Arts. He has been active in a wide range of fields\u2212from visual arts to lighting, graphics, and set design. He began a parallel solo career in 1998, and through the utilization of some of Japan\u2019s most advanced technologies, his multifarious work has gained wide recognition. As the first Japanese artist to participate in Cape Farewell, a \u201ccultural response to climate change,\u201d he ventured into the North Atlantic, showing his deep concern for this global issue.
\nAmong Takatani\u2019s performance works are Chroma (2012) and Life-Well (2013), a collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto and Mansai Nomura. In 2015, his work ST\/LL was shown in France and Belgium to great acclaim, and in January 2016 it made a triumphal return to Biwako Hall in Japan. He has also held solo exhibitions, including Camera Lucida (2013, Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography).<\/div><\/div>\n
