The Bio-Blurb Show
http://www.wps1.org/include/shows/bio_blurb.html
The subject of the Bio-Blurb Show centers around aspects of the growing
trend between art and science, and most particularly the biological and
genetic sciences. Hosted by Suzanne Anker, the show features a roundtable
discussion of the social issues that are affected by genetic engineering,
forensics, new reproductive technologies, the patenting of life forms and
related "Art-Sci" subjects.

of ARTNews), and filmmaker Virgil Wong <http://www.rythospital.com>
about the federal government's against the activist artist Steve Kurtz
<http://www.caedefensefund.org/> and the Critical Art Ensemble.
<http://www.critical-art.net/> How much of this is fact, how much fiction?
Why have no politicians come forward with a response? This many years after
the Culture Wars, has the government succeeded in criminalizing artists?
Should artists be making work with life-forms? The answers are just as
provocative as the questions!
Edition #1 - In the first of this stimulating new series considering a new
definition of "nature," Suzanne Anker
<http://www.geneculture.org/cmp/biography.shtml> , author of The Molecular
Gaze: Art in the Genetic Age, hosts a discussion of the quickly falling
boundaries between art and science, especially in regard to genetics –
think the Matthews (Barney and Richie) and Andy Goldsworthy – with
forceful contributions from artist Steve Miller
<http://www.stevemiller.com> and writers Thyrza Nichols Goodeve
