Viime kevään biotaidekurssin blogi: BIOART: CONTEMPORARY ART AND THE LIFE SCIENCES by Jennifer Willet

TAGC:n taiteilijaresidenssissä työskentelee taiteilija Akos Maroy. Blogissaan hän kirjoittaa residenssiajan projektista: The original concept of the bio.display project was to create a dynamic display made of genetically modified fluorescent bacteria. The installation, though consisting of millions of living organisms, would act as display, a screen - something we’re used to see from machines.
The first step in this project is less ambitious: a mechanism that enables a user to create an image using genetically modified fluorescent bacteria. The installation allows the participant to enter an image, for which he will receieve a plate of bacteria, that develops this image overnight. A replica of the chemical process of photography done by millions of living creatures in a small plate.
The bio.display project is done under the Artist in Residence program of The Arts & Genomics Center, Leiden, the Netherlands, and in association with the Waag Society FabLab.
