Biological Art
Biological art is a form of artistic expression that incorporates living organisms and biological processes. Artists use techniques from fields like genetics, microbiology, and biotechnology to create works that challenge traditional notions of art and life. This genre often explores themes of nature, evolution, and the relationship between humans and the environment.
One notable example of biological art is the work of Eduardo Kac, who created the famous transgenic rabbit named Alba. Alba was genetically modified to glow green under blue light, raising questions about ethics, identity, and the implications of manipulating life forms in art.
