Viac o knihe

Exploring the intersection of art and biotechnology, this book presents a collection of 36 newly imagined organisms created by Eduardo Kac, a leading figure in bio art. It reflects on how fantastical creatures from mythology have evolved into real entities through modern science. Accompanied by insights from philosopher Avital Ronell, the work includes Kac's "Anthroduction" and a whimsical taxonomy that proposes a novel classification for future species, blending creativity with scientific inquiry in the 21st century.
