Projects in Bio Art

"Who will be the Disney of the future? He or she might, I suggest, be a molecular biologist " Vilem Flusser, Curie's Children, Art Forum, October 1988, p. 9. On Science

This is an introductory course that focuses on making art with living matter. It centers on bio art practices and looks towards strategies found in nature to inform art making techniques. The program emphasizes experimentation in sensing and interactions between humans and non-humans.
