Join us at Genspace for a Workshop by Anna Dumitriu, who uses bacteria in textiles. Dumitriu founded and directs the Institute of Unnecessary Research. She was the curator of "Trust Me I’m an Artist: Towards an Ethics of Art/Science Collaboration". Dumitriu, will discuss how she uses bacteria in her fabrics, and lead this workshop where participants create their own bio-textiles.
In this workshop you will learn how to work safely with bacteria as an artistic medium using commonly available supplies. You will develop a bacteriocentric view of the world, understand the microbiology and textile techniques used in the work of bioartist Anna Dumitriu and discuss the new advances in clinical microbiology being investigated by the Modernising Medical Microbiology Project. The workshop will also involve discussions of safe working practices, the ethical issues around bacterial bioart, issues of public engagement in science, and the nature of collaborative art - science practice.
Anna Dumitriu’s work blurs the boundaries between art and science with a strong interest in the ethical issues raised by emerging technologies. Her installations and performances use a range of digital, biological and traditional media, including live bacteria, robotics, interactive media, and textiles. Her work is held in several major public collections, including the Science Museum in London. Dumitriu is known for her work as founder and director of “The Institute of Unnecessary Research”, a group of artists and scientists whose work crosses disciplinary boundaries and critiques contemporary research practice. She recently completed a Wellcome Trust commission entitled “The Hypersymbiont Salon", collaborating as a Visiting Research Fellow: Artist in Residence with the Adaptive Systems Research Group at The University of Hertfordshire (focusing on social robotics) and (Leverhulme Trust 2011), and was Artist in Residence on the UK Clinical Research Consortium Project “Modernising Medical Microbiology” at The University of Oxford. Her major international project “Trust me I’m an artist, towards an ethics of art/science collaboration” (in collaboration with the Waag Society in Amsterdam and The University of Leiden) investigates the novel ethical problems that arise when artists create artwork in laboratory settings. She is a contributing editor to Leonardo Electronic Almanac, and winner of the 2012 Society for Applied Microbiology Communication Award.

INTERDISCIPLINARY PRACTICES IN BIO ART

From anatomical studies to landscape painting to the biomorphism of surrealism, the biological realm historically provided a significant resource for numerous artists. More recently, bio art has become a term referring to intersecting domains of the biological sciences and their incorporation into the plastic arts. Of particular importance in bio art is to summon awareness of the ways in which biomedical sciences alter social, ethical and cultural values in society.
Coming to the fore in the early 1990s, bio art is neither media specific nor locally bounded. It is an international movement with practitioners in such regions as Europe, the U.S., Russia, Asia, Australia and the Americas. Several sub-genres of bio art exist within this overarching term:
1) Artists who employ the iconography of the 20th- and 21st-century sciences, including molecular and cellular genetics, transgenically altered living matter, reproductive technologies and neurosciences. All traditional media, including painting, sculpture, printmaking and drawing are employed to convey novel ways of representing life forms.
2) Artists who utilize computer software, systems theory and simulations to investigate aspects of the biological sciences such as evolution, artificial life and robotics through digital sculpture and new media installations.
3) Artists employing biological matter itself as their medium, including processes such as tissue engineering, plant breeding, transgenics and ecological reclamation.

MAQUINAS Y EXPERIMENTOS
El tema de la naturaleza y el arte se ha explorado desde varias estrategias metodológicas que derivan en instalaciones tan interesantes que muchas veces se trata de máquinas, engranajes y experimentos en los que las máquinas funcionan, tal vez en el borde de la inutilidad, en la pregunta por lo vivo, por la vida, por el hálito de aquello que respira.

DIDACTICA DE LA BIOLOGIA EN EL CONTEXTO DEL ARTE
Diversidad de conceptos biológicos como la autopoiesis, la mitosis, la célula pueden ser explicados desde el arte como una estrategia para abrirnos a maneras no tradicionales de enseñar la biología que crean otras dinámicas en las que los estudiantes buscan formas creativas para interiorizar un concepto abstracto a través de propuestas lúdicas, artísticas, estéticas.
Artistas:
Santiago Ortiz
Moebio
Karl Sims
Autopoiesis

Molecular Invasion es un proyecto del Critical Art Ensemble que busca realizar acciones contestatarias en relacion con los OMG.

Thus, Roundup kills by literally starving the plants that it attacks. However, Roundup Ready plants have been genetically modified to produce a version of the enzyme EPSP synthase that protects the plants. This version of EPSP synthase is a natural enzyme found in some bacteria and does not bind glyphosate very well. By genetically modifying the target plant to overproduce the resistant enzyme, the GMO producers insured that the RR plants are immune to the effects of glyphosate. Using pro-drug theory as a model, it may be possible to produce a biochemical intervention that could either specifically inhibit the resistant EPSP synthase that is present in the GMOs, or one that could set off a cascade of physiological effects that could retard or mutate the plant. Precise targeting is very difficult to do. Much like advanced electronic hacking, genetic hacking and reverse engineering are very specialized tactics. This is why corporations do not at present fear reverse engineering. The GMO revolution has been bloodless, because resistance does not have the capital to mount a counter-offensive on the molecular level. Much like fighting nomadic (virtual) power with nomadic tactics, the current molecular invasion has to be confronted in the molecular theater of operations. For the resistance to progress on any credible, effective level, rebel labs and rogue human resources in molecular biology have to be developed.

Una relación particular entre el arte y la ciencia ha comenzado desde hace varias décadas, propiciada por el desarrollo de los campos de la biotecnología y el arte.
Quizá el trabajo artístico más mediático, ha sido el caso de la coneja transgénica Alba, sin embargo, no es el único trabajo. La transformación de mariposas ¿on nature? En 2000 de Marta de Menezes, la propuesta de Sterlac con la creación del trabajo “la tercera oreja” del 2006, la modificación estética en Orlan, los trabajos del colectivo "The tissue culture and art project" integrado por Oron Cats e Ionat Zurr, son apenas algunos ejemplos.
Existen muchos aspectos interesantes para reflexionar de una manera crítica sobre esta nueva relación.
El bioarte plantea al menos tres aspectos para abrir una discusión. Por un lado, estaría la actividad del artista que lleva a cabo procedimientos científicos para realizar sus obras, en este sentido el artista tiene una responsabilidad ética que precisamente está en discusión. Por otro lado, estaríamos refiriéndonos a los problemas que surgen con las dicotomías involucradas,en particular la transgresión de la dicotomía clásica natural/artificial. Un último aspecto tendría que ver con discusión sobre la necesidad o no de los laboratorios como espacios donde se realizan los trabajos artísticos.
Estos y otros temas son los que en este blog ponen a consideración al mostrar los distintos artistas que realizan trabajos entre el arte y la biología.
