  • Microperformativity : bioengineered organisms performing in the art context
    Tratnik, Polona, 1976-
    Within the biotech era, art that addresses the issues of life, and brings biological life into the artistic context, cannot avoid using biotechnology as the technology that enables interventions into ... the living matter. Art is not only intervening into the living matter in the laboratories, but aims at showing and cultivating tissues and various living cultures in the gallery space. The galleries have turned from spaces for showing artefacts into spaces of events, performances and workshops. In this context, the idea to grow living entities within art testifies of a performative turn, a shift from representational to performative modes of art. Because of the imperative of performativity, art addressing biotechnology requires the presence of living tissues and other living substances in the gallery spaces or spaces meant to show art to public. The author identifies three sorts of microperformativity carried out by biotechnological art in the sense of managing life at the micro level. The most original of these and specific for art working with living organisms means a real-time action of the living microorganisms or bioengineered tissues within the artistic context in front of the public. For this sort of performativity, the artist gets the microorganisms or engineered tissues to perform by themselves for the audience.
