A thrilling remake of a 1904 experiment in which live trees antennas act as antennas for radio contact. Simple and magical at the same time: the combination of nature and technology. This concept was not developed any further at the time, but now BioArt Laboratories...
Our world is changing at an ever increasing pace and new (bio)technologies, materials and innovations emerge on almost a daily basis. In this evolving landscape the fields of science and art grow more interconnected as scientific processes and theories inspire the arts and vice versa....
After the 1st edition of the “Secrets of superhero science” symposium at the International Festival of Technology in Delft, BioArt Laboratories proudly hosted Barry Fitzgerald for a second edition in the Veem Building (Strijp-S) in Eindhoven during the Dutch Design Week on Friday the 27th...
In biology, metamorphosis is traditionally viewed as a significant stage in the life history of an organism: the change from one form to another - from the caterpillar to the butterfly. Yet, this biological principle also resonates within other disciplines. Folklore, literature and fine arts...
The bio artists Xandra van der Eijk (‘Sea synthesis’), Cheng Guo (‘Anon. – An intervention in the Anthropocene’) and Jiwon Woo (‘Mother’s Hand Taste – Son-mat’) were announced winners of the 2017 Bio Art & Design Award (BAD Award) on Friday 19 May. The jury...
Our world is changing at an ever increasing pace and new (bio)technologies, materials and innovations emerge on almost a daily basis. In this evolving landschape the fields of science and art grow more interconnected as scientific processes and theories inspire the arts and vice versa....
A dance of humans and viruses to the tune of evolution, a compass needle made of iron extracted from placentas and 3D printed materials inspired by the development of human organs. In May 2016, these three proposals were proclaimed the winners of the Bio Art &...
While the maximum age for humans is estimated to be 125, certain bacteria can subsist in a vegetative state for tens of thousands of years, only to awaken when conditions are more favourable. Researchers even claim to have found bacteria that survived this way for millions of years....
