Discussion & Treats to Follow
Seminar Title: Exploring BioArt – Transgenic Human Co-Creation & Germline Aesthetics
This interactive session will showcase wet lab bio art workshops designed for non-biologists, offering an unconventional perspective on reproductive technology, germline aesthetics, and transgenic human co-creation. Adam Zaretsky’s work blurs the boundaries between science and art, challenging legal, ethical, and social perspectives on embryogenesis and development as bio art. Topics will also include cryogenic storage, human colonies, and novel approaches to archiving biological expression.
Join us as we rethink the intersections of biology, creative practice, and speculative futures!
