Abstract
In recent years, there has been a genre of contemporary art known as ‘Bioart’. It is a genre of expression that has developed in the context of a mature information society and an environment in which transmedia has become possible. The approach between organisms and machines has long been examined by Norbert Wiener’s cybernetics theory in terms of its systemic aspects in art-theoretical analysis, but the introduction of more scientific procedures such as genetic modification and tissue culture, and the reconstruction of biology based on information concepts such as synthetic biology, have also been seen in bio-art. expanded the development of its expression in Bioart as well.
This paper examines the interface between informatics, life sciences and artistic expression in Bioart and the expression that emerges at the interface between life and information, particularly (in the broadest sense) bioinformatics, based on an analysis of Louis Bec’s computer graphics work in the 1990s and in the field of artificial life. The paper examines the representations that emerge at the interface between life and information.
