| Austrian artist Gerfried Stocker and molecular biologist Reinhard Nestelbacher collaborated to create this unique "painting" made from genetically modified fluorescent bacteria. These bugs are arranged in thousands of petri-dishes - with the pattern determined by the gene expression of the fluorescent protein (called GFP or green fluorescent protein, hence the title of the artwork). http://www.dna-consult.at/performance/ars2001.htm# (via we-make-money-not-art) |
