At the interface between art and biosciences. Which forms does
artificial life take? How do humans today intervene in growth processes
through synthetic biology? How does this affect the relationship between
nature and culture? And what significance does art have in the age of
the anthropocene? For Andreas Greiner (*1979), these questions are at
the center of his work, where he questions the relationships between
nature/technology/culture/art with regard to ethics as well as social
and ecological issues. The volume places Andreas Greiner's work in a
dialogue with scientists and experts from various disciplines such as
physics, computer science, biology, music and architecture. The emerging
interfaces raise the integral questions that the artist examines, which
are more urgent than ever after the apparent quantum leaps in the
medical-biological field, such as genetic engineering.
