We were commissioned to create an image for the project Thinking soils, which proposes an novel foundation system using a genetically modified sensing bacteria system. Here is a small abstract of the project: We report on a novel project to integrate...
Early in 2016 we were invited to participate in Click, an annual festival devoted to showcasing creative work exploring the intersection of art, science and technology. In this edition, the festival aimed at incorporating the field of Bioart to their catalogue...
As part of the research project on Bacterial Hygromorphs, I designed a primer for the themed studio Experimental Architecture. Primers are short, intense periods of combined research and design work which set the tone for themed studios at the School...
In November 2016 we presented our work on Bacterial Hygromorphs at the 2016 ACADIA conference, hosted by the University of Michigan. I think is fair to say the presentation caused a lot of interest, and we received a lot...
For its second year, the Experimental Architecture had its primer structured around Bacterial Hygromorphs. As with the 2015 edition, the primer asked students to produce design responses — in the form of facade panels — to the potentials presented...
In may 2014 I participated in the first of the tree part workshop series Making Life, which sought to provide the space and tools for creative practitioners to engage with Synthetic Biology. The project is run by the Finnish...
The third instance of the workshop was structured as an intensive, one-week work period to work around a pre-selected topic with a group of practitioners. The outcome was to produce a piece to be exhibited at the Making Life...
Photography by Pei-Ying Lin If Making Life I provided one of the most comprehensive and fast-paced introductions to Synthetic Biology, Making Life II allowed us to venture into the more liminal territory of the practice. It was also a...
