Bio Art: Altered Realities

‘Bio art’ is an emerging field of artistic practice at the boundary of art and science, using the tools and technologies of science to create artworks that explore the relationship between humans and nature.

Writer, curator and author of Bio Art: Altered Realities William Myers discusses the ethics and aesthetics of artists working with living organisms and life processes, addressing the possibilities and dangers posed by biotechnological advancements and calling into question the concept of nature itself. Myers is joined by contemporary artists Anna Dumitriu and Julia Lohmann.
