BioArt is an art practice where artists work with biology, live tissues, bacteria, living organisms, and life processes.Using scientific processes and practices such as biology and life science practices, microscopy, and biotechnology (including technologies such as genetic engineering, tissue culture, and cloning) the artworks are produced in laboratories, galleries, or artists' studios.
Gustav Theodor Fechner (/ ˈ f ɛ x n ər /; German:; 19 April 1801 – 18 November 1887) [1] was a German physicist, philosopher, and experimental psychologist.A pioneer in experimental psychology and founder of psychophysics (techniques for measuring the mind), he inspired many 20th-century scientists and philosophers.
