A visually striking, authoritative survey of the crossover between art and biotechnology by an expert in the field In an era of fast-paced technological progress and with the impact of humans on the environment increasing, the concept of “nature” itself seems called into question. Bio Art explores the work of “bio artists,” those who work with living organisms and life processes to address the possibilities and dangers posed by biotechnological advancement. A contextual introduction traces the roots of bio artistic practice, followed by four thematic chapters: Altering Nature, Experimental Identity and Mediums, Visualizing Scale and Scope, and Redefining Life. The chapters cover the key areas in which biotechnology has had an impact on today’s world, including ecology, biomedicine, designer genomes, and changing approaches to evolutionary theory, and include profiles of the work of sixty artists, collectives, and organizations from around the world. Interviews with eight leading bio artists and technologists provide deeper insight into the ideas and methods of this new breed of creative practitioners.

This is a book of elegant photographs by award-winning photographer Art Myers of women following treatment for breast cancer. Scars and missing breasts are openly revealed in an artistic way. The pictures are accompanied by vignettes written by each woman relating a short story of her journey through the breast cancer experience. Original poems by Maria Marrocchino are paired with some of the photos and the book has a poignant foreword by Dr. David Spiegel, author of Living Beyond Limits. The photographs include women in the United States as well as in France and the narratives written by the French women are presented in both French and English. Two women, well-known in the breast cancer support communities, Dani Grady in the US and Annick Parent from France, have written introductions.
