Document Summary
Bio-art represents a crossover of art and the biological sciences, with living matter, such as genes, cells or animals, as its new media. frances stracey. Bio-art signals a transition from the production of art objects to the creation of living entities. Refers to a type of being that has both organic and mechanical parts. Bioethics: generally, refers to a branch of ethics that investigates controversies surrounding the clinical, medical or other practical applications of new biotechnologies, such as genetic engineering or embryonic stem cell research. Bio-art can thus be a provocative reminder that how life is modeled and represented matters to how it is valued, used and disposed of - francis stracey. Bio-art deserves a more reflective reflection , one that considers the contributions bio-artists have had in mediating new biotechnologies to a broader public [] as thoughtful, crucial interventionists, although not without some uncertainties and ambivalences.
