Title
Suspect Inversion Center (SIC)
Description
Collaborative project that explores the ways in which DNA can be extracted, amplified, fragmented, and imaged photographically
From the artist's website: "site-specific, artistic experiment, which took place in the Summer of 2011, at an experimental artists’ residency called BioARTCAMP, organized by Jennifer Willet, in conjunction with the Banff Center, deep in the Banff National Forest in the Canadian Rockies"
Description from the artist's website: "The ‘Algaerium Bioprinter’ envisions how microalgal cells can be grown and digitally printed for production of ‘fresh’ food supplements, organic dyes on paper, and printable biological solar batteries."
Description from the artist's website: "Enteric Consciousness 2010 is a large robotic tongue controlled by an artificial stomach filled with the living bacteria Lactobacillus Acidophulus."
Installation
The Enteric Consciousness is a commission from the Maison d'Aillieur in Switzerland in 2010 for the Do Robots Dream of Spring retrospective exhibition.
From Lisek's website: "The aim of the project was to build a multidimensional object comprising of my DNA code [collected from my saliva] and codes of chosen viruses [Lloviu virus, Polio virus, Marburg virus and Ebola virus]. A class of objects which are non-human came into existence, [they have features which enable perpetual conversion/transformation and unlimited replication and distribution [immortality]."
Visualization of sugar-preference of E. coli is achieved by centering bacteria in a petri dish, around the edges five varieties of sugar are plated; movement of bacteria toward the preferred sugar source can be detected
The work was featured was exhibited live at Art from Synthetic Biology, UK’s first public exhibition featuring living genetically modified microorganisms at The Royal Institute of Great Britain in April 2013.
