Festival - Röda Sten, Göteborg, Sweden
The Mexico Project was exhibited at the new media art festival Today in Paradise – Genetics & Art based on the theme of biotechnology. The Mexico Project explores ideas of nature and belonging of genetically modified entities and featured a book, video documentary and website. Paradise Today - Genetics & Art, Röda Sten.

Transgenic Art: A Breed Apart? Advances in genetic technology are allowing artists to create transgenic art by manipulating living things for artistic ends, for example a cactus growing human hair. Is this acceptable? Where should we draw the line, and who should draw it? Listen to transgenic artists, consider the context within which they work, then explore this new and contentious art form through dialogue with a diverse panel. Chair: Robert Dawson-Scott, arts journalist Professor Martin Kemp, historian of art and science Laura Cinti, transgenic artist Howard Boland, media artist Marta de Menezes, transgenic artist Georg Tremmel, bio-artist and entrepreneur Professor Ian Jackson, Senior Scientist, MRC Human Genetics Unit Richard Holloway, writer, broadcaster and forme...

25 June 2005 10:30-17:00, The Arts & Genomic Centre, Amsterdam, Netherlands
The Arts and Genomics Centre (TAGC) held its official launch which included lectures, performance and debates covering the centre’s activities. c-lab gave a talk on The Martian Rose, which proposed the genetic engineering of a rose for an extreme environment with the aim to sustain life on Mars. Lectures included Joe Davis’ talk Contamination or Cross-fertilisation?: Artists in Laboratories and Suzanne Anker’s talk on the Genetic Gaze.

Wednesday 03-05 August 2005, Marslab, Aarhus, Denmark
Furthering our research in astrobiology, c-lab visited, discussed and viewed the biochamber at the Mars Laboratory, University of Aarhus, Denmark. The nature of research is a cross section of domains including biology, chemistry, geology, physics and engineering. Our discussions with the scientists related to prospects of using the simulator for artistic purposes. The mix of scientists in this field added to a stimulating talk and provided new strategies for possible artistic outcomes.

Bioart :: Explorations of Hybrid Spaces. Advocating as an interface between bioscience and art, bioart aligns itself within the realms of emerging biological knowledge, applications and outcomes both as mediums and subjects. We held this lecture to address the extent technological tools used in bioart empowers the artworks and how its application opens up alternative exploratory paths. Works discussed include: The Cactus Project, The Mexico Project, GFP Bunny, Eighth Day, Extra Ear ¼, Disembodied Cuisine, Workhorse Zoo, Microvenus and Nature?.

Glass Body :: Reflecting on Becoming Transparent is Anna Furse's performance installation that explores how onscreen spectacles of our own inner bodies are received in our imagination via contemporary digital and computer pictures. Focusing on imaging technologies associated with contemporary obstetrics, it reflects on the experience of In Vitro Fertilisation as a particular way of seeing life itself take shape both inside and outside our bodies via the application of the microscope, camera, computer and, most importantly, ultrasound imaging. Images (above) are from c-lab interactive touchscreen production that was developed for this installation.

08 December 2004, Goldsmiths College, London, UK
Invitation to give a talk to postgraduate students on bioart project, The Mexico Project, which looks at introducing modified plants into pristine wilderness. The talk also discussed the project’s strategies as well as outlining artists’ interaction with biology and ecology.

15 October-26 February 2006, The Science Museum, London, UK
The Science of Aliens' exhibition addressed the possibility of life on other worlds through alien fiction, alien science, alien worlds and alien communication. It was particularly engaging for c-lab as it related indirectly to an ongoing project The Mars Project dealing with the production of life for a Martian environment. We were slightly disappointed with the linearity of the broad subject of aliens yet impressed with the variety of related subjects it covered. We are interested in how this area of science is presented to the public.
