The semi living artist ( Symbiotic A Research Group in collaboration with the Potter Lab) “MEART – The Semi Living Artist” is a geographically detached, bio-cybernetic research and development project exploring aspects of creativity and artistry in the age of new biological technologies. It is an installation distributed between two locations in the world. Its “brain” consists of cultured nerve cells that grow in a neuro-engineering lab, in Atlanta. Its “body” is a robotic drawing arm that is capable of producing two-dimensional drawings. The “brain” and the “body” will communicate in real time with each other for the duration of the exhibition. MEART will be performing in the Eye Drum Gallery Thursday 16th of March @ 19:00 - 1 show only. Holy Fuck I am so there! MEART |
