The School of Art here is so interesting, I think, because it's one of the few college level art schools that has so successfully integrated itself into this scientific/artistic endeavor. It really pushes people's ideas of art beyond what they might have considered before. Last year I attended several artist lectures from individuals who might not even be considered "artists" in other places, including Rich Pell, the teacher mentioned in the article. His media of choice includes a lot of genetically modified animals and insects, one of which being goats that can produce spider silk, or BioSteel. A lot of his work is described on the website for the PostNatural History Museum that they talked about which is about to open downtown. This is really edgy artwork! I'm definitely going down to see some animal modification next month when it opens.
