Re: [microsound] [ot] Fw: organism biological art list.
i thought some might find this interesting:
 organism is a new mailing list for people interested in art that
 involves living systems. discussion topics on organism include
 technical, practical, aesthetic, and ethical issues.
 subscribe to the organism mailing list:
 http://music.columbia.edu/organism/
 the idea of making art with living systems is not new; you might even
 consider a topiary garden or a goldfish pond to be biological art. what
 is new is the degree of control over biological systems and materials
 contemporary technology offers us.
 some artists making biologically-based art:
 Eduardo Kac has made several "transgenic artworks," including GFP Bunny,
 a genetically engineered fluorescent rabbit.

 Damien Hirst's A Thousand Years involves a cycle of maggots eating a cow
 head.

 Yukinori Yanagi uses ant farms in some of his work.

 Edgar Lissel's Bakterium is photographic images rendered in
 light-sensitive bacteria.

 Richard Reames is an arborsculptor who makes "extreme trees."

 douglas repetto (that's me!) has a number of pieces, like How to Annoy a
 Plant, that involve plants and time-lapse photography.
