Workshop

-May 15

-We discussed two Claire Pentacost Readings-Beyond Face and Critical Inventory of BioArt. -The gist of the Pentacost readings were that artists work with the symbolic and that the Artist's consent to work and learn in public is important. -We also discussed the political and cultural implications of Scientific Authority. -We also looked at Tuur Van Balen's Urban Geography project -Most of the Ideas[see above] today, dealt with the use of bacteria as    -a) A sensor or Reactor - (to Inputs,emotions,light..etc)     -b) A Producer (of energy, proteins..etc) -c) A Material

-Is there Any way in which we can look at Bacteria from a purely non-symbiotic / non-anthropomorphic viewpoint? -Can we use our technological "progress" to give a non-selfish gift back to our ecological siblings?

-Replace financial transactions with Bacteria
