Examines the intersections of the body and technology and new theories of the concept of Biomedia. We will examine the ways that the biological body is situated and recontextualized within a range of 'technoscientific' fields, with particular focus on the contemporary intersections between biotechnologies and computer technologies. In the age of pervasive and invasive digital networking, the 'body' is becoming increasingly inseparable from the engineering and design approaches inherent in computer science and other related fields. The course discusses emerging technologies such as synthetic biology, artificial/alternative intelligences, machine sentiency, automation, DIY Biology and/or citizen science, highlighting strategies where these can and have been used as aesthetic material for artistic exploration through a curated archive of contemporary and canonical bioart. Open to non-majors.
