Bio Art : Altered Realities

This title reveals the ways in which the work of bio artists offers new meanings for our lives in the wake of scientific discovery, as well as new frameworks for describing them. Four thematic chapters cover key areas in which biotechnology has had an impact on today's world, profiling the work of 60 artists, collectives and organisations from countries around the world. Interviews with eight bio artists and technologists also provide a deeper insight into the ideas and methods of this new breed of creative practitioner.
