A MOONDIAL archive publication, researched and directed by Dr. Sabine Seymour, mapping the collision of synthetic biology and the body a decade before "biofabrication" became a buzzword. Across 57 pages, the report profiles the artists, scientists, and labs pushing textiles past cloth: Carole Collet's BioLace grown from strawberry roots, Suzanne Lee's bacterial-cellulose BioCouture, Fabrican's spray-on fabric, SymbioticA's Victimless Leather, epidermal electronics from the Rogers Research Group, Sonja Bäumel's bacterial cartography of the human body, and more — framed by an original essay on biomimicry, synthetic biology's origins, and the ethics of engineering life into wearable form.
Part manifesto, part field guide, it's an early document of the "second skin" thinking that still runs through Re. punk's work today — proof that the body-as-platform conversation didn't start yesterday.
Format: PDF, 57 pages
Originally published: Fall 2012
