Central St Martins
We approached the Central St Martins textiles department with our ideas of synthetic biology and science and they asked ‘When does technology like this become accessible?’ This question yielded a set of beautiful visualisation of the way our bacteria could be used to create art if controlled by light. These pieces by second year Textiles Design BA students Cameo Bondy and Barbara Czepiel exhibit the textiles that could be created if our bacteria contained optogenetic biobricks that switched their dye breakdown capacities on and off via light cues.

The Slade
For the exhibition The Slade School of Art provided us with Pigment Cases outlining the history of dyes. They illustrated how dyeing technology has moved through the ages and allowed the public to witness how far we have come.
