Bio-Art and the Environment - Complexity within Interconnectedness (Hardcover, Unabridged edition)

Thanks to the ICT economy, today's world is witnessing a progressive process of transfer and movement from a society founded on the production of merchandise and material goods made by man to a new society driven by sciences and knowledge. This new society utilises human intelligence in an attempt to solve cultural problems, to support activities, to rationalize performance, to plan, to program, and to elaborate strategies and projects for the future.This book, thus, proposes a multifaceted framework where contemporary art, biology, the digital, geology, technology, physiology, chemistry and philosophy enter into debate and complete one another. It revolves around a number of questions which are logically interconnected, such as, "What is bio-art?" "Can a laboratory artist manipulate living things, make complex hybridizations, and give birth to chimeras that would coexist with human beings?" "Do we have the right to use them?" Should we authorize research that will allow the development of these techniques, prohibit it, or finance it?" "Do we have the right to create embryos for transplantation or injection?"
