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.

Note: in collaboration with Adam Zaretsky

Pig Wings
Date

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.
