Bioart Kitchen

What do new technologies taste like? A growing number of contemporary artists are working with food live materials and scientific processes in order to explore and challenge the ways in which manipulation of biological materials informs our cooking and eating. ''Bioart'' or biological art uses biotech methods to manipulate living systems from tissues to ecologies. While most critiques of bioart emphasise the influences of new media digital media and genetics this book takes a bold alternative approach.Bioart Kitchen explores a wide spectrum of seemingly unconnected subjects which when brought together offer a more inclusive expansive history of bioart namely: home economics; the feminist art of the 1970s; tissue culture methodologies; domestic computing; and contemporary artistic engagements with biotechnology.
