Transgenic Art

Transgenic art involves integrating genetic material from one organism into another to create new biological specimens or to explore scientific and artistic concepts. Artists use biotechnology techniques, such as gene editing, to produce living artworks that may exhibit unique traits or visual features. This interdisciplinary approach questions ethical boundaries, identity, and the relationship between science and creativity, transforming living organisms into dynamic art forms. While it offers innovative ways to engage with biology, it also raises important discussions about safety, morality, and the definition of life in contemporary art.
