Wikipedia | BioArt

“BioArt is an art practice where artists work with biology, live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes. Using scientific processes and practices such as biology and life science practices, microscopy, and biotechnology (including technologies such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, and cloning) the artworks are produced in laboratories, galleries, or artists' studios. The scope of BioArt is a range considered by some artists to be strictly limited to "living forms", while other artists include art that uses the imagery of contemporary medicine and biological research, or require that it address a controversy or blind spot posed by the very…

Neurofeedback loops : electroencephalography as an artistic strategy in selected art & science projects

The aim of this article is to present art & science projects involving electroencephalography (EEG), and study them in terms of relationships between artistic narratives and medical procedures. Discussed are the works by pioneers of EEG applications in art (David Rosenboom, Alvin Lucier) and by contemporary artists (Lisa Park, Amy Karle), who are mainly interested in performances and relational installations. The author of the text analyses the projects with reference to the concept she introduces - biomediation (derived from Eugene Thacker's theory of biomedia and a concept of mediation developed by Joanna Zylinska and Sarah Kember), pointing to the post-…

Kultura Współczesna Homo medicus vol. 107 | Pętle neurofeedbacku. Elektroencefalografia jako strategia artystyczna w wybranych projektach z zakresu art & science

“Amerykańska artystka Amy Karle wykorzystuje proces neurofeedbacku do eksploracji własnej przestrzeni mentalnej, czyniąc ze swoich projektów rodzaj somatycznej, afektywnej autoetnografii. ... W kolejnych projektach Karle skupiła się przede wszystkim na parametryzacji elektroencefalograficznej, próbując nadać wizualną, materialną formę swoim przeżyciom, kreując rodzaj artystycznej eksploracji świadomości… Projekt Karle wyraźnie wpisany jest w perspektywę dążeń transhumanistycznych nie tylko w przywołanym kontekście.... a ideą pracy jest próba stworzenia hybrydycznej przestrzeni, kreowanej w czasie rzeczywistym, w której dochodzi do monitorowania, ale i transcendowania świadomości poprzez połączenie jej za sprawą cyrkulacji impulsów z systemem informatycznym. Nie tyle chodzi więc o klasyczne, protetyczne, z ducha cybernetyczne poszerzenie…

Polityka | Fascinating bioart, a fusion of art and science The art of life

Bioart therefore gives artists completely new opportunities to act at the interface with science, but at the same time it is not an easy field of art. Sometimes it is very difficult for them to present at exhibitions, for example, live bacteria cultures that need special conditions. In addition, there are restrictions related to the regulations governing the genetic modification of organisms.
