Weighty Papers: Generative Biomedia Art

An axe wielding executioner in a movie once said: "There's always room for one more!" Now, that's a rule I live by. It doesn't matter if your talking about drinks at the pub, prison tattoos or body kits for my car, there's always room for one more. It also counts for posting papers to my blog, obviously. This one's a bit arty and full of talk about biomedia, generative art and the conceptual notion that everything is made of information.


Do you like snippets? Here, have one:

Biomedia explores the convergence of digital and biotechnology, leading to a world where eventually the concepts and materiality of either can be applied to the other. Generative art is often inspired by biological phenomenon, yet the execution is often purely digital. This equates itself to one side of the biomedia coin where the biological is recontextualized using digital technology. The other side of the coin, where digital concepts are fully applied to the biological, are less prevalent. Though artists are conceptually exploring this space, practical biotechnology is not yet advanced enough for easy artistic application.

Not satisfied by tiny biomedia morsels? Then bite down in that big juicy biomedia burger here. It's okay. There's always room for one more.
