Biology, Technology & Art

Some of the most significant changes in art were made possible by advancements in technology from the invention of the paint tube to the printing press. Current advancements include the effects of bio-technology, electronics, and the Internet in the art world. Bio-Tech artists produce work grounded in genetic engineering and tactical information dissemination. Many of these works are the products of hybrid practices between the arts and sciences. 

In this segment you will hear Derrick de Kerckhove of Ars Electronica, Jennifer Willet and Shawn Bailey of BioTechnica, photographer Pete Mauro, Holly Crawford (Flatland Limo), information artists Randal Packer and Andy Deck, and art journalist Steven Henry Madoff.
