A kino-parlour of microscopic Bio-Freak Wonderment

The Living Screen is a primitive Bio-Kino toy, designed to travel the side show alleys of art. Peer thru the Bio-Projector and experience the astounding 1/2 millimetre projection, as it transforms with the living canvas. Take savage pleasure in how the screen made from blood […]

I am a bio artist. My artistic practice encompasses the exploration of blurry borders, shady ethics and the domestication of scientific and electronic technologies. What interests me in particular about biological materials are their fragile locations within science which are always linked to cultural and political processes, perceptions and constructions. I like […]

Partially living beings or Semi-Living entities are being grown/constructed by the TC&A through the […]

Personal connections have the power to transform the “other” into a friend and there are many examples of technologies that are specifically focused on connecting humans together. In much of my artwork I explore the possibilities of another kind of communications revolution; one which attempts to connect humans to the non-human world. The development […]

In this essay, I would like to articulate a category of artistic practice called “Emerging Media”. Hardly an original term, it has typically been used as a catch-all category for artists working with new technologies. Many have resisted such a vague, unsexy categorization, preferring to self-describe as “digital media artist”, “computer artist”, “biotech […]
