About this book series

Reconfiguring living organisms into technologies can change our relationship with the environment, our bodies, and with concepts of materiality, nature, and life itself. What happens when we treat life as a raw material for artistic expressions? Palgrave Studies in BioArt presents a series of books written by researchers and artists who manipulate life in scientific laboratories. These artists develop new meanings relating to the concept of life through engaging, provoking, and creating contestable living and semi-living biological artworks. They ask: What is life? What is a body? What are the futures of life? And who is allowed to manipulate life? Such BioArtistic investigations are vital in articulating this new somatic-cultural space. The series will present important and diverse voices discussing frontier biotechnologies and their effects on society, ecology, industry, and life itself. This interdisciplinary series will be of interest to those working in the areas of art and design, science, cultural studies, bioethics, science fiction, and much more. We welcome proposals from researchers and practitioners in the field of BioArt, and cultural/experiential laboratory engagement.
