About<\/h2>\n

When art meets science \u2013 and hyperflexible dancing bodies meet their hyperflexible antibodies!<\/p>\n

Inspired by recent research from Utrecht University\u2019s Hecklab and realised in collaboration with video artists from Sensu.org<\/a>\u00a0and performers from the Aerialettes, this artist impression visualises how the best antibodies to combat diseases can be found in our own bodies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Director Biography<\/h3>\n

Jesper Buijvoets is founder and creative director of Sensu Productions<\/a> (https:\/\/sensu.org\/). He has more than 10 years' experience in creating cinematographic films. His strength lies in bringing together information, feeling and style in one symmetrical visual image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

Pedagogical value<\/h3>\n

Our immune system can make quintillions of slightly different antibodies \u2013 that\u2019s billions of billions, a nearly infinite resource. When one of these antibodies turns out to be successful at its job, the body starts making more copies. As a result of the lifelong training and adaptation of our immune system, what appears to be a simple trial-and-error system is, in fact, something far more clever. At any given moment, we only make those antibodies that are really needed \u2013 meaning that only about a couple of hundred or thousand will ever be dominantly present in our blood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Using mass spectrometry-based protein analysis, researchers can now directly monitor the repertoire of antibodies present in blood. Just a few droplets is enough to measure how a person is responding to an infection or vaccination. As a result, we can search for specific antibodies present in those who do not get ill \u2013 enabling us to identify the optimal weapon against the disease in question.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This documentary is about a research and art project carried out in kindergartens in \u00d8ygarden municipality in 2022, near Bergen. In a joint project, we staged joint exploration of life in the biotope between land and sea with the aim of an aesthetic look at the sea and a local mindset and value set.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
