Tissue Culture & Art Project
The Tissue Culture & Art Project (TC&A) is an innovative art initiative founded by artists Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr. It explores the intersection of art and biotechnology by using living cells to create sculptures and installations. The project aims to challenge perceptions of life, nature, and the role of technology in art.
TC&A employs techniques from tissue culture, a scientific method used to grow cells in a controlled environment. By cultivating living tissues, the artists create bio-artworks that provoke discussions about ethics, sustainability, and the implications of manipulating life forms in contemporary society.
