BIO-MOON LAB

Bio-Moon Lab is growing different living organisms such as algae and bacteria by transforming and processing their growth where Bio-light is the new terminal.My research enquires about future perspectives in the field of bioluminescence as potential and conscious applications within contemporary art practice. Acknowledging the intention to look at alternative sources of sustainable energy to replace artificial forms of light in the context of contemporary art. Moving further from my painting practice where I recently started to experimenting by introducing led light, I analysed the possibility to replace the artificial light from the led light tube with the Bio light emitted from the Marine bacteria V.Fisheri. The bioluminescence emitted by the marine bacterium Vibrio Fischeri is a particularly dazzling reaction of individual microbial cells coordinating a group behaviour. By studying extensively, the behaviour of the marine bacteria V,Fisheri ,I undertook a numerous series of microbiology experiments at the Grow laboratory at Central Saint Martins. During the exhibition, the public would have the opportunity to interact live during the bioluminescence process and witness the magical transformation. Light is conceptualised as a creative interface where Speculative experimentations are endorsed to creatively manipulating living organisms as the V.Fisheri bacteria to establish a new bridge of communication between contemporary art and Science within the community.

“WFP-DANCE” DEBUT AT SONAR BARCELONA 2024.

Exploring the Microscopic: “WFP Dance” would be displayed at Sonar 2024”, where Art, Science, and Sound Collide

In a world where the boundaries between art, science, and technology continue to blur, there emerges a project that seamlessly intertwines these disciplines into a mesmerising experience. WFP Dance is not just an art installation; it's a journey into the microscopic realm, a harmonious convergence of visual artistry and auditory exploration.

Imagine stepping into a space where the intricate patterns of cancerous cells, marked by green fluorescent protein GPP, come to life through dynamic video compositions. This is the vision brought to reality by contemporary artist Laura Benetton and British English musician D/RU/G/S. Through three totem installations, visitors are invited to delve into the mesmerizing world of WFP Dance.

Each totem serves as a portal, housing captivating visual displays that mirror the nuanced movement patterns inherent to these cells. But it's not just a visual spectacle; it's an immersive experience. Equipped with headphones, participants are enveloped in bespoke soundtracks meticulously crafted to harmonize with the visual content. The result? A sensory journey that transcends traditional artistic boundaries.

WFP Dance is more than just an art installation; By marrying art, science, and technology, this project bridges the gap between the abstract and the tangible, inviting participants to connect with both the aesthetic and scientific narratives woven into its fabric.

At its core, WFP Dance is an exploration—an exploration of the microscopic world, an exploration of sound, and an exploration of the human experience. It challenges us to rethink our perceptions of art and technology, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression in new innovative ways.
