THE LIVING SCREEN

The Living Screen explores the way the nature of spectatorship evolves and/or ruptures when viewers interconnect with movies projected on a screen that is alive. The screens are grown from different mammalian cells; microscopic movies are projected over these living screens, via a specialised projector (Bio-Projector). The projection is 500 microns in size and can be viewed by peering through a microscope located within the bio-projector. The screens are alive, react, transform and eventually die. They contort the projected micro-movie, confronting the spectator with issues such as virtuality, reality, life and death.
