Brian Deggar: FishBoy, tales from the lab, factory and the studio

8th August, 3.30pm

Brian will talk about FishBoy, a platform from which he examines our relationship with the underwater world. This he explores through text, photography, video, fisheries bycatch, conceptual and biological artworks. The utility of speculative research in art and further directions for FishBoy will be explored.

Dr Brian Degger (PhD Biotechnology) is a new media artist and interdisciplinary researcher, with a doctorate in biotechnology. His current practice revolves around Speculative Research and FishBoy (http://sr.transitlab.org). His current research is on the relationship between creators and their biofacts/model organisms (http://biofact.info). Through bioartforum (http://bioartforum.com), he is inviting practitioners, scientists and researchers to a continuous email dialog on and about bioart.
