Descripción: 

The incorporation of new technologies, both of communication and of information, while immersing subjects in the new social informational paradigm, has provoked a radical transformation in the identification, creation and reception of art in all its varied forms. Beyond all these new characteristics of art there is one really important from a bioethical point of view: the collective construction of art. In a similar way to contemporary art, ethics (and bioethics) is also the result of collective work. Art is one of the most important foci of reception of new scientific developments. The possibilities that life technosciences offer us have focused the attention of numerous artists. Civil society has an active position in the creation of knowledge and sense. At the same time, bio-artists develop a special place in the social construction of those new meanings: they are something similar to a catalyst. They offer a space for an open debate about biotechnologies. With their open works, these artists enable civil society to participate in their art creations, in a collective activity. This is watchdog art, with strong bioethical aims and in an open-style, requires the participation of civil society, not just as spectators but as true creators.
