MEART – THE SEMI-LIVING ARTIST
MEART is a geographically detached, bio-cybernetic project exploring aspects of creativity and artistry in the age of new biological technologies. It suggests future scenarios where humans will create/grow/manufacture intuitive and creative ‘thinking entities’ that could be intelligent and unpredictable beings. They may be created by humans for anthropocentric use, but as they will be creative and unpredictable, they might not necessarily stay the way they were originally intended.
