Biographical note

Ingeborg Reichle (1970) studied art history, archaeology, sociology, and philosophy in Freiburg i. Br., London, and Hamburg. She holds an MA in Art History from the University of Hamburg and received her PhD from the Humboldt University in Berlin in spring 2004. From 1998 till 2003, she was active as research fellow in the Art History Department at the Humboldt University in Berlin, and taught courses in new media art as well as courses about the interplay between art and science. While at Humboldt University she was also involved in the practical application of electronics through the use of computers and new media in art historical work, such as distant-learning projects, developing relevant Internet resources, web constructions, and image data bases (Prometheus). Her doctoral dissertation, which explored art, artificial life, and biotechnology in the age of technoscience, was published in 2005 by Springer: "Kunst aus dem Labor. Zum Verhaltnis von Kunst und Wissenschaft im Zeitalter der Technoscience" Vienna/New York 2005. Since 2005 she lectures at the Hermann von Helmholtz Zentrum fur Kulturtechnik at the Humboldt University in Berlin, and is currently research fellow at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Berlin in the interdisciplinary research group "The World as Image".

Is science the new art? Starting from this provocative question, art historian Ingeborg Reichle examines in her book fascinating responses of contemporary artists when faced with recent scientific and technological advances. In the last two decades a growing number of artists has left the traditional artistic playground to work instead in scientific contexts such as the laboratories of molecular biology, robotics, and artificial life. New art forms like "Transgenic Art" and "Bio-Art" have emerged from the laboratory. These art forms differ dramatically from traditional artistic approaches that explore the natural: they have crossed the boundaries between the artificial and the natural, and thus provoke passionate debates about the growing influence of science and technology. This first comprehensive survey presents a well-selected number of significant artworks and with over 280 colour illustrations provides a broad overview of this new and relevant development in art.
