GMO, LabRat

GMO, testmodel, ethicsGMO LabRat. Used as a testmodel for research. With the CRISPR/Cas9 method for targeted genome editing we can change the rats DNA. Is it still a rat? Is it ethical to use an animal just for testing different combinations of DNA codes implanted in a rat genome?

Biotronicol, Living Camera

Biotronicol bioart GMO

Biotronicol, ‘Living Camera’. GMO (Genetic Modified Organism) created for security. BioArt, in this case the artwork comments on the possibilities of creating a new commercial product through the use of living tissue and DNA function codes from different animals.

‘The ‘Living camera’ has several sensors which are retrieved from the DNA code from different species. The Biotronicol, ‘Living camera’, manufactured by the fictional European company ‘Living electronics inc.’ is allready the 16th revision of the first model. It can be charged by placing it in a bowl of nutricious gell, which it can take in through small openings in the soles of its’ feet. The Living camera can be placed in every suitable place in the room and this model can be plugged in to other devices. It has very sensitive bio-sensors, who will warn you and it can even recognize your friends.’

The ‘living camera‘ – ‘Biotronicols’ is also featured on page 256, in the chapter ‘Beyond green’, in the book ‘Do it ourselves, a new mentality in Dutch design’ – Author J. Junte – na010 ‘A collection of speculative products that question the use of biotechnology in products. What will these future products look like when tech companies start to implement innovations in DNA manipulation?…’

‘BioTronicols’, Living products

BIOTRONICOLS

‘BioTronicols‘ is the name chosen by me for products which merge electronics with living cells.

Living electronic devices. Living cells growing over and in a shell and PCB. The cells and the electronical parts communicate with each other. The product gives haptical feedback and needs to be touched. It can be charged by putting it in a bowl of nutricious gel, wich it obtains through its gills at the backside. It can also communicate with other living products out of the same range, with a cord

Now that we all have our smartphones with touchscreens, we get almost no haptical feedback. As a response to what we are lacking, tactility will become more and more important. In these living electronical products, ‘Biotronicols’, the skin of the products is the important tactile factor. It can feel warm or cold, soft or with bumps, there are even hairs growing out of the buttons. They can be charged by putting them in a bowl of nutricious gel, wich they obtain through their gills. Maybe you can feel a hartbeat…

BIOTRONICOLS

‘BioTronicols‘ is the name chosen by me for products which merge electronics with living cells.

What if the leading company`s of the future could provide us with products which merge organisms with (bio-)technology? What will the products look like? Is it ethical to create such genetic modified organisms for commercial use and for our benefit? Will there be strict regulations, laws and global protocols? Is it possible to give the cells in such a ‘product’ a biomarker’, so that we can always trace what the origin was? What are the hazards?

WindowSnail

The snail is combined with DNA components from other usefull animals with CRISPR-Cas and can be used to clean the windows of skyscrapers from algae. The snail has a bioconnector wich transfers pollutioninformation to a connected smartwatch.

BioWatch

The cells have grown in and over the programmed microchip PCB. They communicate with each other. The sensors of the Bio-smartwatch can monitor your blood and hartbeat.

Virtual Reality Implant

VRImplant and Olfactory Orthosis

The VRImplant gives the possibility to experience a virtual reality or merge an augmented reality to our real world. In which world would you like to wander? The olfactory element provides a matching odor perception. We already spend a lot of time in an artificial virtual reality, perhaps in the future you can choose to spend more time in the artificial one, than in the real world. Or, with one eye, stay in the VR world all the time. How would our brain adapt?
