Abstract

Biological and artistic processes have developed a relationship of mutual inspiration, science completely distant has weakened their borders; extending the ways in which art can be created, integrating chemistry, genetics and biotechnology. The new art trends in his eagerness to create have been increasingly involved in exploring the unknown and through this knowledge to choose the best way to embody their ideas. Bioart is the result of this search and representation that art shares the same spirit with science. Microorganisms represent one of the smallest forms of life, and despite being specifically developed for biological purposes can generate objects and works of art. The present investigation was aimed at the development of artistic representations from raw material obtained from a symbiosis of bacteria and yeasts, which is able to synthesize cellulose.
