details to be announced shortly.
SymbioticA Biotech Art Workshop
20-24 June 2005
At University of Wollongong, Faculty of Creative Arts and
School of Biological Sciences.
A five day intensive workshop dealing with hands on exploration of
biological technologies and issues stemming from their use. Through
the arts, SymbioticA seeks to take science beyond the laboratory and
help the public develop a critical awareness of science and new
biological technologies. The workshop will introduce participants to
issues, concepts and techniques relating to contemporary art
practices dealing with the manipulation of life. Emphasis is placed
on developing critical thought, ethical issues and cross-disciplinary
experimentation in art. Current and historical practices dealing with
the manipulation of living systems will be traced through exploring
art, culture and biotech. The tools of modern biology will be
demonstrated and perfomed through artistic engagement, which in turn
will open discussion about the broader philosophical and ethical
implications into the extent of human intervention with other living
things. The practical components include DNA extraction and
fingerprinting, genetic engineering, selective breeding, plant and
animal tissue culture and basic tissue engineering techniques. Please
note that a public seminar around bioart and ethics will be held on
Day 4 of the workshop, which will be open to the public. For further
information please check UOW website closer to the date.
Places are limited to 20.
Cost $150/ 100 (concess) (including GST) for the five day intensive
including tutorials, lab space, consumables.
Tea and Coffee provided.
Prepared and presented by Oron Catts and Gary Cass, SymbioticA,
School of Anatomy & Human Biology and the Faculty of Natural and
Agricultural Science, The University of Western Australia.
