These and other areas of study now make it possible to enhance, protect, monitor, stimulate, and replicate functions of the body and behavior of human cells as never before. Such abilities pry open doors of possibility for creative expression and prompt artists to materialize how these changes transform our long-held notions of identity and imagine the future they foretell.
The variety of media employed in the finished works includes theater performance, video, artificial intelligence, drones, cancerous cells, gut bacteria and pig hearts.
