bio.display

This site will track the progress of the bio.display project – a project aiming at creating a dynamic display made of fluorescent bacteria. The project is done mostly by Ákos Maróy under an Artist in Residence program at The Arts & Genomics Center in Leiden, the Netherlands.The aim of the bio.display project is to blur the distinction between artificial and natural.
