In April 2020, artists Isabel Burr Raty, Louise Mackenzie, Robertina Šebjanič and Karolina Żyniew. ![]() This article presents the transcript of the pseudo-documentary “Staying in Touch” (Honorato, Mackenzie, Żyniewicz, Burr Rat. The research was synthesised in the form of a pseudo-documentary premiered by the Creative Europe project BioFriction on 23rd July 2020. Braiding historical and contemporary art, architectural and bio-art practices, the group developed potential futures for post-pandemic art spaces, resulting in a fictional account of a series of art exhibitions that coincide with a pandemic event. more In April 2020, artists Robertina Šebjanič, Louise Mackenzie, Karolina Żyniewicz and Isabel Burr Raty were invited by Dalila Honorato to develop research on the theme of “Staying in Touch: post-coronavirus art curating” as part of the collaborative digital art residency Braiding Friction. In April 2020, artists Robertina Šebjanič, Louise Mackenzie, Karolina Żyniewicz and Isabel Burr R. The thesis does not recount a bioart practice, but a fine art practice that uses performative strategies to think with the act of using life as material. As such it contributes to environmental and ecological art practices that question our cultural entanglement with material and performative art practice that considers the nonhuman by artists such as Eduardo Kac, Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr, Spela Petric and Maja Smrekar. In doing so, it reframes DNA and the micro-organism through anthropomorphic performative practice that draws on myth and metaphor to allow readings of material that account for liveliness rather than use as resource. more Acknowledging a rise in the use of synthetic biology in art practice, this doctoral project draws from vital materialist discourse on biotechnology and biological materials in the works of Donna Haraway, Jane Bennett, Rosi Braidotti and Marietta Radomska to consider the liveliness of molecular biological material through art research and practice. Carmen MacLeodĪcknowledging a rise in the use of synthetic biology in art practice, this doctoral project draws. I have a first degree in Psychology and worked professionally as a management consultant for 11 years. in fine art from Northumbria University, I am an associate of the Institute of Genetic Medicine at Newcastle University and a member of the Cultural Negotiations of Science research group. I am a postdoctoral Research Associate at Newcastle University. Exhibitions include the National Library of Spain (Madrid), Lumiere (Durham), Summerhall (Edinburgh), BALTIC39 (Newcastle), Bond House (London), Basement 6 Collective (Shanghai) and National Taiwan University of the Arts (Taiwan). Public talks include the Institute of Advanced Studies, UCL, London, Edinburgh International Science Festival, Leonardo LASER London, ISEA2016 Hong Kong, and Sonic Environments, Brisbane. I was a finalist in the Bio Art & Design Awards, 2015, and a recipient of the New Graduate Award at Synthesis, Manchester Science Festival, 2013. ![]() My works include live genetic modification sound performances, public conversations with future species, techniques for listening to microbes and the translation of 100 year old dust into a composition for church organ. I am drawn towards the mechanisms upon which consumer-led society is founded with elements of my work focusing on processes of production and, increasingly, biotechnology. Often working collaboratively, my research-based practice explores chance and emergence in the human and the nonhuman through material practice and speculative imaginaries. I am interested in the inter-relationships between medium, sound, image and text, attempting to find ways in which these can be connected to produce unexpected results. I am a fine artist working across media with a focus on lively material. ![]()
