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.
