The main idea of my bio art work is using bio materials which are micro organisms applying culturing process as a scientific method getting a link between biotechnology and art.
My art work depends on the color harmony of some kinds of bacteria to form living abstract drawings in serialized Petri dishes called as bio paintings showing a colorful life cycle for the bacteria when it grows & dies allowing the audience to see in few weeks number of visual changes in shape & color, which makes the artwork always variable & changeable in the real time imitating and summarizing the human life.
The most recent addition to the list of featured galleries showcases work by German artist Edgar Lissel. His work mixes photography and microbiology to create imagery that blurs the lines between decay and creation.
Glowing bacteria that flash on and off together are pointing the way towards implants made of engineered cells that would deliver precise doses of drugs or hormones at specific times of the day.
The bacteria have been engineered to fluoresce in synchronised bursts to produce waves of luminescence – but the researchers were not after a biological light show. The feat is proof in principle that the activity of cells can be artificially coordinated, so that they no longer work in isolation.
Bacterial image of Isaac Newton photosynthetically grown on the glass surface of the bottom of a petri dish using aqueous media.
The Photosynthetic bacteria were cultivated and isolated in the artist’s studio laboratory, from winogradsky columns made up from garden samples of organic materials.
The image used was taken from the NPG’s Godrey Kneller portrait of Newton, and by using transparent acetate masks with lightboxes, the image was grown in 21 hours.
