ABSTRACT
The digital design and manufacturing of the Biodigital Lamps Series and their use as Biolamps had also begun. Genetic research for architecture also requires precautions—by avoiding accidents and contamination—like in conventional medical research or in simple heart surgery. The way Eduardo Kac explains his work should be approached in terms of ethics. He defined transgenic art as “a new art form based on the use of genetic engineering techniques to transfer synthetic genes to an organism or to transfer natural genetic material from one species into another, to create unique living beings”. Ecology studies the relationship between living organisms and the environment in which they develop. This necessarily entails reflection and debate about the conditions required for the life and survival of society and the honesty needed to question certain models of development, production, and consumption.
