Zusammenfassung (in english) .
SummaryIs science the new art?Taking this provocative question as her starting point, art historian Ingeborg Reichle examines the fascinating respon-
ses of contemporary artists when confronted with recent scientific and technological advances. In the last two de-
cades a growing number of artists has left the traditional art venues to work in scientific environments like the laborato-
ries of molecular biology, robotics, and artificial life. From this new art forms like „Transgenic Art“ and „Bio Art“ have emerged.
These art forms differ dramatically from traditional artistic approaches that explore life: they have crossed the boun-
daries between the artificial and the natural, and thus pro-
voke passionate debates about the growing influence of science and technology.
This first comprehensive survey presents an informative se-
lection of significant artworks in 294 color illustrations and provides a broad overview of this new and relevant develop-
ment in art.

In Ingeborg Reichle's Art in the Age of Technoscience: Genetic Engineering, Robotics, and Artificial Life in Contemporary Art (Springer, 2009) - a revised and expanded English edition of her PhD thesis, which was published in German in 2004 - she asks, "Is science the new art?" In the same vein, the writer of her preface, Robert Zwijnenberg, asks, "Why do artists openly seek to gain access to the domain of the sciences?"

The laboratory as an atelier: this seems to be one of the paradigms of art and science. "Art" and "science" are two terms that have been juxtaposed way too often, sometimes describing either "creative" science or art only citing scientific elements. This book is far away from these misunderstandings. The work restricts its field of research to three areas (genetic engineering, robotics, and artificial life) maintaining a meritorious consistency.
