LIFE FORMS. Essays on the Artwork of Andreas Greiner, and the Display, Synthesis, and Simulation of Life.

Andreas Greiner's art at the interface with bioscience

What forms does artificial life take? How does man intervene in growth processes today through synthetic biology? How does this change the relationship between nature and culture? And what role does art play in the age of the Anthropocene? These questions are at the centre of Andreas Greiner's (*1979) work, in which he questions the relationship between nature/technology/culture/art from an ethical, social-social and ecological-critical perspective. The volume places Andreas Greiner's artistic works in a dialogue with scientists and experts from various disciplines such as physics, computer science, biology, music and architecture. This leads to the interfaces and calls up the integral questions that the artist deals with, which are more urgent than ever now that quantum leaps in the medical-biological field, such as genetic engineering, can be observed.
