BioArt is an art practice in which the medium is living matter and the “works of art” are produced in laboratories and/or artists’ and designers’ studios. The tool is biotechnology, which includes such technologies as genetic engineering and cloning. BioArt is considered by most artists to be strictly limited to “living forms,” although there is some debate as to the absoluteness of this criteria and the stages at which matter can be considered to be alive or living. Because there is no codified meaning of BioArt, the medium and/or genre of BioArt is still being defined. The materials used by Bioartists are cells, DNA molecules and living tissue. Tampering with living forms and practicing in the life sciences brings about ethical, social and aesthetic inquiry. BioArt is an early 21st Century practice for artists in bringing even closer the “arts and sciences.”
