SymbioticA Research Group (AU)

A “semi-living artist,” a biological/cybernetic installation as the aim of a research project that is simultaneously a work of art and science, and brings together designers, biologists, artists, and computer specialists into what is not your everyday team. Fish&Chips presents the current state of development of this undertaking, and addresses aspects of and conflicts inherent in art understood as research.
SymbioticA is crossing the Boundaries: Artistic Explorations of Structure and Growth through Visions from Science. Hands-on wet biological art is starting to be seen as a valid means of expressing cultural and artistic perceptions as well as exploring neglected areas in biological research.
