Document Summary
Crossover of art and biological sciences - genes, cells, animal (uses technology) Early bio-art judged on aesthetic quality - highly edited/curated (not about organic. Recent bio-art is more controversial - artful form of eugenics, or as a pawn of function) bio-tech industries. Eg. cyborg = cybernetic organism (organic and mechanical parts) Technologies that are on us or in us emulate this (eg. fitbit, pacemakers) Dna makes up how we look, but also mood, preferences, health etc. Nature is the material - traditionally, nature would be represented. Engineered living tissue sustained artificially species or breed.
