Summary

What do new technologies taste like? A growing number of contemporary artists are working with food, live materials and scientific processes, in order to explore and challenge the ways in which manipulation of biological materials informs our cooking and eating.'Bioart', or biological art, uses biotech methods to manipulate living systems, from tissues to ecologies.
