Infos

Thanks to the ICT economy, today's world is witnessing a gradual process of transfer and displacement from a society based on the production of man-made material goods to a new society driven by science and knowledge. This new society uses human intelligence to try to solve cultural problems, to sustain activities, to rationalize performances, and to plan, program and develop strategies and projects for the future.This book therefore proposes a multi-faceted framework through which contemporary art, biology, digital science, geology, technology, physiology, chemistry, and philosophy enter into debate and complement each other. It is structured around a number of logically interconnected questions, such as: "e;What is bio-art?"e;, "e;Can a laboratory artist manipulate living beings, perform complex hybridizations, and give birth to chimeras that would coexist with human beings?"e;, "e;Do we have the right to use them?"e;, "e;Should we authorize research that will allow the development of these techniques, prohibit such research, or fund it?"e;, and, "e;Do we have the right to create embryos for transplantation or injection?"e;
