Description
The research institute in the "Biopolis", Dresden provides a frame for the convergence of avant-garde architecture, contemporary art and progressive science. How do cells divide? How do they communicate? How do they grow into a living organism? For such research, Finnish architects, Heikkinen-Komonen created a "place where the postgenomic age can begin" (Die Zeit). Complex structures and subtle colour effects provide a contrast to the clinical coolness on the border between technology and life. George Steinmann, an artist from Berne, has been active since the mid 1980s in northern Europe, Canada and Switzerland. He has combined the procedures of natural science with various media to form this artistic project "metalogue", integrating cellular and genetic processes to create visual art forms. In large format illustrations and texts by internationally renowned authors, this volume investigates the gentle bridges between the different disciplines.
