What is BioArt and how does it connect art, science, and the environment?

"What is BioArt? BioArt is an art form dealing with biological material and the relation between human and other-than-human life forms and the environment. BioArtists occupy unique positions, merging the worlds of artistic expression and scientific inquiry and bridging the gap between artist studios and scientific laboratories. They engage with diverse cultural materials, biology, the environment, and other natural sciences. Their work is experimental, co-creating topographies of knowledge and inquiry and addressing controversial topics in science and technology. This provocative approach differs from traditional art’s focus on aesthetics."
