Intro | 项目介绍

This workshop marks the first time that the Central Academy of Fine Arts has brought art students into a real molecular biology laboratory to engage in artistic creation. In this hands-on workshop students will gain direct bio art experience through a series of exercises, culminating in the production of individual or collaborative artworks. Students will grow cells sampled from their own bodies, extract DNA from other organisms, create images with a bacterial palette, and transform bacteria with GFP (green fluorescent protein) in order to make a luminous living artwork.

本次工作坊是首次将央美的艺术学生带入真正的分子生物学实验室进行艺术创作的尝试。在这个工作坊中，参与者将进入到真正的生物学实验室，并通过一系列操作来创作（或者集体创作）各种领域的生物艺术作品，从而亲身获得实践经验。

参与者将涉及以下领域的操作：

细胞生物学－学习从自身体内提取细胞进行培养；

分子生物学－从其他生物身上提取DNA；

微生物学－通过培育微生物绘制图形；

转基因操作－以及向细菌中转入绿色荧光蛋白（GFP, The green fluorescent protein）来制作活体荧光作品。
