BIO-MOON LAB

Bio-Moon Lab is an innovative interdisciplinary project that fuses art, sustainability, and scientific inquiry through the exploration of bioluminescence. By cultivating Vibrio Fischeri bacteria in petri dishes and liquid solutions, the project aims to develop “Bio-light” as a sustainable alternative to conventional artificial lighting in contemporary art.

The visual outcomes of the project mirror the phases of the moon, invoking natural rhythms of life and light. This thematic exploration culminates in three distinct artworks: digital images, immersive light installations, and a unique bio-light machine designed to produce bioluminescent light in real time. The centerpiece, titled Bio-Moon, is a digital Giclée print that visually reflects lunar phases and incorporates petri dishes shaped like butterfly wings, symbolizing metamorphosis and the interconnectedness of biological systems.

This installation invites public engagement, allowing viewers to witness the ethereal emergence of Bio-light firsthand. By reconceptualising light as a living, organic medium, Bio-Moon Lab fosters critical dialogue on the intersection of art and sustainability, illuminating new pathways for creative expression grounded in ecological consciousness. Through this innovative approach, the project inspires a deeper appreciation for the potential of biological systems in artistic practice.
