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.
