Collaboration

Through projects such as BIOTEKNICA, Corpscellule, and Genealogies of Illegitimacy, Jason Knight explores collaborative research and creation. Knight engages with experts from diverse fields to challenge dominant narratives and explore complex social issues. By embracing collaboration, Knight's work transcends disciplinary boundaries, sparking nuanced discussions and fostering critical thinking. This approach not only enriches their artistic practice but also creates opportunities for knowledge sharing, mutual growth, and collective impact, underscoring the value of collaboration in navigating the difficulties inherent in our contemporary world.

Case Study: Teratological Prototypes

Teratological Prototypes (BIOTEKNICA In collaboration with TC&A - Tissue culture and Art Project) is an installation comprised of functional laboratory equipment, a free-standing tent, printed lasercut graphics, and a video work. All of the elements in this work support the growth of a single tissue culture sculpture: a Teratological Prototype.

The prototype consists of a P4HP bioabsorbable polymer scaffold sculpted in the form of a teratoma, 3D rapid prototyped as a mould, and seeded with mammalian cells that grow, live in the gallery environment. This work mobilises the notion of remixing the laboratory environment as a critical endeavour in an effort to create an interface between non-specialists and both the ‘real’ and mediated representations of the laboratory.
