“Nature, Bioart, and Creative Autonomy”
Basile Auditorium
As research scientists continue to expand the potential uses of human and animal tissues, bioartists have explored themes of natural limits, human reinvention and creative autonomy in their own work with these materials. This talk explores the boundary-crossings in research science and bioart and the ethical issues raised by the ever-expanding reach of our autonomy. The work of recent bioartists will be displayed. The lecture is co-sponsored by the Religious Studies Department, IU School of Liberal Arts, IUPUI.
