DESCRIPTION:Within the framework of the exhibition Lighten Up! On Biology
  and Time\, EPFL Pavilions presents a full-day free symposium on Friday 24
  March gathering participating artists together with chronobiologists and 
 sleep experts. This event will provide novel insights into the installatio
 ns and illuminating discussions across disciplines.\n→ Download program

  the solar framework of day and night. This ubiquitous environmental light
 -dark cycle has been internalised into molecular clocks that predict the a
 ppropriate time of day behaviour. Whether cyanobacteria floating in a pond
 \, crabs following the tides\, rodents burrowing in the day and emerging a
 t night\, sheep lambing in spring\, birds migrating to the warm south – 
 circadian\, lunar\, and seasonal rhythms impact physiology\, reproduction\
 , and survival. It is the same in humans. However\, in our 24/7 society\, 
 the natural day-night cycle has been obscured by indoor living and working
  under artificial lighting\, with long-term consequences for health and we
 ll-being. The tenets of chronobiology are explored by artists in multiple 
 ways to light up our crucial dependence on daily cycles\, and we invite ev
 eryone not to lose this innate connection to nature.\n\n	Speakers:\n\nBhar
