pDuring the London Design Festival an exhibition entitled emFurther Instructions/em showcased new work by a href=”http://www.revitalcohen.com/”Revital Cohen/a and a href=”http://www.tuurvanbalen.com/”Tuur Van Balen/a; two designers with an interest in where synthetic biology and nano technology meets design and speculation./p
pThe show featured two new projects, emGenetic Heirloom/em and emPigeon D’Or/em and were funded with the help of the Wellcome Trust Arts Fund and the Flemish authorities. Both exhibitions reflect an approach to design that goes further than the artefacts on display and propose fragments of a future, which, although fictional, are not far-fetched. emGenetic Heirloom/em investigates the use of tumour targeting nano-gold particles as hypothetical family heirlooms and emPigeon D’Or/em proposes the use of feral pigeons and synthetic biology for aesthetic interventions in urban metabolisms. br /
