This preparation for a bio-art sculpture explores the relationship between nature, technology and cultural diversity against the backdrop of "disneyfication". Thanks to computer technologies, software and hardware (eg. 3D printing of biomaterials), we can generate and print organic materials, and who knows, succeed in creating new types in the lab.

Mickey Morph also refers to the – sometimes – necessary testing on animals, to the animal suffering in the laboratories, to the legal framework around it, the ethical awareness supported by many scientists to do something about it.

That is Mickey Morph's dream: mapping these ethical questions and experiments, at the intersection of art and science, transforming and mutating them into something that confronts us with ourselves and the society we live in and are evolving into.
