VASTAL, The VivoArts School for Transgenic Aesthetics Ltd. was formed in 2009 in order to make hand-on biotechnology labs more accessible to the public and to teach do-it-yourself genetic engineering of the human germline.
Each lab is posited as having one goal, merely the production of living artistic projects. Engineering anatomy as an art studio practice is documented through experiments in: ecological art anomalies, culinary art extravagances, tissue culture art, subjective beings in need of art as enrichment, bioinformatics art, transgenic embryo sculpting and body-based performance art.
DIY hands-on biotechnology labs work:
a. to enhance public comprehension of the process of transgenesis through hands-on experience that emphasizes the relationship between safety, aesthetics, and responsibility implicit in this field.
b. to give public access and personal insight towards an interpolation of the desires and paraphilias that drive intentional difference production in the genealogical sense.
c. to aid in academic understanding by contributing new knowledge based on the socio-cultural and ecological reverberations that gene insertion and IGM transgenic alteration of the human genome brings into our lived experience.
