Zusammenfassung (in english) .
SummaryIs science the new art?Taking this provocative question as her starting point, art historian Ingeborg Reichle examines the fascinating respon-
ses of contemporary artists when confronted with recent scientific and technological advances. In the last two de-
cades a growing number of artists has left the traditional art venues to work in scientific environments like the laborato-
ries of molecular biology, robotics, and artificial life. From this new art forms like „Transgenic Art“ and „Bio Art“ have emerged.
These art forms differ dramatically from traditional artistic approaches that explore life: they have crossed the boun-
daries between the artificial and the natural, and thus pro-
voke passionate debates about the growing influence of science and technology.
This first comprehensive survey presents an informative se-
lection of significant artworks in 294 color illustrations and provides a broad overview of this new and relevant develop-
ment in art.
