BIOTEKNICA: Laboratory Remix (with Teratological Prototypes in Collaboration with Tissue Culture & Art Project) is a complex installation, including functional laboratory equipment, a free standing tent, and a video work, all in support of a single tissue culture sculpture - a Teratological Prototype. Developed with Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, the prototype consists of a P4HP bioabsorbable polymer scaffold sculpted in the form of a teratoma, and seeded with mammalian cells - growing live in the gallery environment. This work mobilizes the notion of remixing the laboratory environment as a critical turn in creating an interface between non-specialists - and ‘real’ and mediated representations of the laboratory.
