This residency gives to two artists and a scientist an opportunity to realize artistic work in a fully equipped laboratory dedicated to bioart and meet the researchers and doctoral students of Aalto University and the Department of Art in the Aalto Otaniemi Campus.
Artistic work will reflect critically upon technical manipulation and exploitation of living systems, biological beings, other species, and/or the biosphere at large. The aim is to create artworks in relation to the explored themes.
