This research thesis examines the use of biobased materials as a solution for reducing material waste in creative practices, with a focus on organic materials produced from living matter, such as bio leather made from bacterial cellulose grown from Kombucha. The study adopts a practice-based approach to experimentation, exploring the manipulation of the biobased material in pre- and post-growing stages to achieve various material properties, resulting in the creation of eco-friendly and sustainable art installations. It includes the work of Amy Karle, Neri Oxman, Suzanne Lee, and Dutch Design Week.

“Karle’s work has engaged in both conceptual and material bioart, including drawings, performance, sound and 3D bioprinting in her practice… The work is pioneering from both an artistic perspective as well as within biotechnological practices … demonstrating an exploratory element of bioart practices in the new uses of existing technologies, as well as innovative ideas requiring new or alternative techniques or materials to be produced… Her interest in biological materials is motivated by a wider interest in the future of technologies and their potential impacts.”

“Stellarc, Edward Kac, Orlando, Amy Karle, Anna Dimitriu, Marta de Menezes, Suzanne Anker, Laura Splan and George Gessert are some of the main authors of bioart.”
