Aljosha

 

The installation "Composing bioethical choices" consists of a large number of differently shaped individual sculptures that appear to be united to form a large biofuturistic organism. They support each other and form a living social entity, a prototypical community. It is supported by the idea of bioism, which the artist interprets as a hopeful vision:

"Bioinformatics, synthetic biology and bioethics will soon enable us to remodel ourselves and create the new kinds of life forms in the process. An important feature in the redesign of life is composition based on complexity and variation. Future living works of art may colonise the other planets. Biocomplexity will hopefully be declared the highest priority on earth and instead of UNO we will install United Exosphere. Society without suffering with unprecedented living art - that would be bioism." Aljoscha
