Günes Isitan / artist-researcher in biomedia arts
Merging media art, biology and philosophy, my art challenges what it means to be human. Created in a laboratory using methods borrowed from microbiology and molecular biology, my work presents a thoroughly entangled multispecies humanity. Going beyond anthropocentrism, my visual pieces and living installations reveal the inter-dependency relations and co-becoming fates from which we emerge.
