This installation, also titled 'DeoxyriboNucleicArt’, was a work in progress at the time of its inclusion in the 'Biofeel’ exhibition, 2002. It involved 'vectoring’ synthetic DNA, derived from biotech sources, into the genomes of living organisms such as Escherichia coli bacteria.

Collaboration between the Tissue Culture & Art Project and Adam Zaretsky (U.S). Involved exposing the 'Pig Wings’ being created by the Tissue, Culture & Art Project to music, in order to see how musical vibrations would impact upon the tissue mutations taking place in that art work.

Collaborative and improvised series of performances developed in association with the Art/Science research laboratory SymbioticA.

Created by the SymbioticA Research Group, Gil Wienberg (US) and Matt Richards (US) in collaboration with US scientists Steve M Potter, Tom DeMarse & Alexander Shkolnik. Installation project in which electric signals from the activity of cultured neurons are communicated to a robotic arm which makes a drawing. The first stage of this project was titled Fish & Chips (2001).

Developed as part of the artists’ residency at the Tissue Engineering and Organ Fabrication Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, USA. Developed further in SymbioticA, UWA. The work involved using tissue engineering and stem cell technologies to grow pig bone tissue in the shape of three different sets of wings.

7 'doll’ sculptures crafted from degradable polymers and surgical sutures. Sterilised and seeded with different kind of cells (skin, muscle and bone tissue), which cause the polymer to degrade as they grow (therefore the dolls constantly evolve). Tissue, Culture & Art Project in collaboration with SymbioticA and the Tissue Engineering and Organ Fabrication Laboratory, Massachusetts General Hospital/Harvard Medical School, USA.
