The exhibition
Do we still need streetlights if we can make trees glow in the dark? Is it high time to bring extinct animal species back to life? After all, we’ve progressed so far that we can not only read genetic information; we can write it too. But aside from the fact that we’re capable of these things … is doing them also a good idea?
The Ars Electronica Center’s new exhibition offers artistic, scientific and social perspectives on the multifarious issues that arise when human beings are forming life in the lab.
Special Guided Tour
starting on THU August 8, 2013, every thursday at 6:30 PM
