TRANSGENIC ART FORUM
10 April 2005 15:00-16:30; updated by Howard Boland - 22 November 2006

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.

Gene transfer is the transfer of in vitro recombined gene constructs into animals. When a gene construct is integrated into the genome of the animal it is described as a transgene. The coded protein produced by this transgene is the transgenic product. Animals that contain transgenes are transgenic and, if the transgene is passed on to the offspring, transgenic lines or populations will be created. The target of the technology is the trait that is to be influenced by the transgenic product.
