Abstract
“May material live? May human beings, animals and plants be materials, or only lifeless material and formerly living material, now dead for a sufficient time, like limestone, coal or a wooden board? “ The possibilities offered by the recent technologies to develop living materials evolve according to their own nature, together with a series of pilot experiments in the field of DIY biology. These considerations trigger an imaginary dialogue with Doctor Victor Frankenstein (Shelley M., 1818), between past and future, about the experimental approach of the lab and a new kind of living, productive horizon.File in questo prodotto:
