NOARK

NoArk is a research project exploring the taxonomical crisis that is presented by life forms, created through biotechnology. NoArk takes form as an experimental vessel designed to maintain and grow a mass of living cells and tissues that originated various organisms. This vessel serves as a surrogate body to the collection of living fragments, and is a tangible as well as symbolic ‘craft’ for observing and understanding a biology that combines the familiar with the other.
