Probably of some interest. In Holland xtra- faculty the Hague/ Leiden
(=crossover between university and artschool) came last year with te
idea to start a new course at the Art Academy the Hague called
"genetic manipulation for artists". This whole idea caused a lot of
discussion even in the mainstream media.

there's lot of links to this discussion but all pages are in Dutch
Here's the link to the xtra faculty the Hague (also dutch, english
version doesn't seem to be available) that entually could be used for
contact
