BioArt

To understand what happens when modifining a bacteria can often be challanging to understand for the public. It is too abstract and can easily become boring because you don´t see anything special. To overcome this challange we created bioart. With bioart it is easy and fun to see the result of modifing our bacteria. By using our own chromoprotiens we make sure that the result is visable with the pure eye and no UV-light needed. During our SynBio day we had a stand with bioart plates. The stand resulted in people getting intressted in synthetic biology. There where a lot of curiosity of how we made the bacteria, and because of this we had an natural way to introduce synthetic biology, catalyst by thier own interest and curiosity.
