<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 13px;"><br>
BiofiliA, Base for Biological Arts, Aalto University, Finland, in collaboration with SymbioticA, The University of Western Australia is organizing an intensive five day workshop for artists and other interested people. After the workshop the opening of the
new laboratory and biological arts programme will be celebrated.<br>
<br>
The workshop will be led by SymbioticA's Director//Aalto visiting Professor Oron Catts and BiofiliA’s scientific collaborator Marika Hellman.<br>
<br>
This is a hands-on workshop where the tools of modern biology are demonstrated through artistic engagement, which in turn gives voice to the broader philosophical and ethical exploration into the extent of human intervention with other living things. It involves
exploration of biological technologies and issues stemming from their use; it serves as a theoretical and practical introduction to the creation of biological art and is aimed at mentoring artists in issues of biotechnology and the life sciences.<br>
<br>
The workshop will cover hands-on engagement with some of the fundamental tool of modern biology in order to be able to carry out and critique manipulation of living systems from an informed practical perspective. The practical components include DNA extraction
and fingerprinting, genetic engineering, animal tissue culture and basic tissue engineering techniques.</span></div>

BiofiliA program consists of trans-disciplinary studies that aim at creating
cultural discussion around the topics related to the manipulation of life
and biological processes at a practical and theoretical level, including
philosophical and ethical dimensions. The program includes series of
lectures and hands-on workshops in the laboratory and natural environments
exploring the interfaces between biosciences and art. The new laboratory <i>BiofiliA</i>
in Otaniemi Campus will be opened in autumn 2012 and will offer a place
for biological-artistic research, education and production.</span><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Helvetica;mso-bidi-font-family:
