Patricia Piccinini: 'PROTEIN LATTICE'

Piccinini's work has centred on digitisation, the human genome project and on ideas of societal construction. This recent body of work looks at the implications of artificial tissue growth and the 'ownerships' of biology. Flesh and tissue are now something that can be grown, grafted and copyrighted, and become another commodity that is sold and traded. The project brings to view, and explores, the ethical problems associated with these developments.
