[spectre] Trust Me, I'm An Artist, Update

[Annick2]

Dear Spectrite,

Before the final events that will take place in 2017, the 
"Trust Me, I'm an Artist" team is happy to provide you with 
some food for thoughts, namely 2 new articles and 3 podcasts.

The articles are about "Heirloom" created by artist Gina 
Czarnecki and scientist John Hunt.
Heirloom is a living portrait of the artist's daughters 
consisting of a glass cast of their faces onto which their 
skin cells are growing within a bioreactor. A video document 
of the whole process and 3D scanning-printing sculptures 
complete the work.

The first one, "HEIRLOOM; Living portraits of and for the 
artists daughters created out of their own cultured cells", 
is by the authors of the artwork and the second one, 
"Displaying the Researched Body: Growing Cell Portraits in a 
Medical Museum" by the curators that exhibited it at the 
Medical Museion in Copenhagen, Louise Whiteley, Karin 
Tybjerg, Bente Vinge Pedersen.

You can also listen to the artist, the scientist and 
curators discussing the work with Annick Bureaud in the 
podcast series on the Audiolats channel on the Creative 
Disturbance platform.

We have another podcast for you, with Howard Boland 
discussing his project Cellular Propeller.
Cellular Propeller, not achieved at the time of the 
recording, consists of propelling an artificial object, 
namely a small wheel, with human sperm cells in a synthetic 
biology artwork. Howard Boland discusses the ethical and 
aesthetical issues related to the creation of this work as 
well as his creative process.

Trust Me, I'm an Artist is an EU Creative Europe funded 
project that is exploring ethical issues in art that engage 
with biotechnology and medicine.

Enjoy reading and listening !
Best
Annick
