From the rear cover

Bioart is art that uses either living materials (such as bacteria) or more traditional materials to comment on biotechnological practice. At times both troubling and controversial, it attracts enormous attention but is frequently misunderstood. This is the first comprehensive account of the art form in the context of art history, laboratory practice, and media theory.--Robert Mitchell is associate professor of English at Duke University.-
