kloone4000 Hybrid DNA Isolation Art Lab
How to Extract DNA from Anything Living in the Laboratory or in your Kitchen, a Compare and Contrast Laboratory and Hobbyist Workshop
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is found in all living cells. These cells can be of plant, animal, fungus, bacterial protozoa and even viral particles. Many varieties of samples can be taken from various food, pets, pests, human bodies, laboratories and free or not so free living portions of the outdoors. Some recently alive ‘materials’ that you think might not have DNA are worth testing through extraction. Different cellular or multicellular organisms can be encouraged to grow by giving them food and an otherwise sterile and comfortable place to live. The definition of food and comfort is dependant on which living being it is that you want to sample. Sometimes ‘volunteer’ organisms can be attracted to an experimental food laden ‘homes.’
Deelnemers brachten wat levende, groeiende, rauwe of recent levende materialen mee voor Isolatie en Purificatie van het DNA van deze materialen. Details van de procedure zijn online te bekijken: Genetics Science Learning Centre
Adam Zaretsky (USA) zal deze workshop en discussie in het engels leiden. Professor Adam Zaretsky is a bio-artist, working as a research affiliate in Arnold Demain's Laboratory for Industrial Microbiology and Fermentation in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's (MIT) Department of Biology. He received a Master of Fine Arts in 1999 from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, where he studied and researched with 'transgenic' artist Eduardo Kac. Since then, he has worked with such pioneers of bio-art as Joe Davis, Oron Catts and Ionat Zurr. Zaretsky also taught an art and biology studio class in fall 2001 as a visiting artist at San Francisco State University. Besides the bio-art installations on which he is working, Zaretsky has created a large body of digital artworks, collage and photography.
