摘要

这篇文章描述了我正在进行的“超级共生”系列，该系列始于2012年，探索了我们的微生物组、遗传学、表观遗传学甚至我们的环境可能被增强的潜在方式，从而将我们变成人类的“超级有机体”。该系列包括涉及生物艺术的表演和装置，以及短暂艺术作品的摄影记录，并以公众讨论新医疗技术的形式出现。这篇文章讨论了利用细菌和酵母的CRISPR基因修饰、植物的基因编辑等合成生物学技术，以及利用人工智能和干细胞研究制作的艺术品。它批评了媒体和广告在促进复杂的新生物医学技术方面的作用。“Hypersymbiotics™”系列旨在促进公众对新科学发展的伦理影响的理解，并促进反思和辩论。艺术作品的核心是关于知识、权力和控制以及它们所在的地方。

Hypersymbiotics™: An artistic reflection on the ethical and environmental implications of microbiome research and new technologies

This essay describes my ongoing series “Hypersymbiotics™,” which began in 2012 and explores the potential ways in which our microbiome, genetics, epigenetics and even our environment could potentially be enhanced to turn us into human ‘super-organisms.’ The series includes performances and installations involving BioArt, as well as photographic documentation of ephemeral artworks and takes the form of a vehicle for public discussion about new healthcare technologies. The essay discusses artworks made using synthetic biology techniques including CRISPR genetic modification in bacteria and yeasts, and gene editing in plants, as well as using artificial intelligence and stem cell research. It critiques the role of the media and advertising in the promotion of complex new biomedical technologies. The “Hypersymbiotics™” series is deeply concerned with promoting public understanding of the ethical implications of new scientific developments and enabling reflection and debate. At its core the artwork is about knowledge, power, and control and where that resides.

期刊介绍： Endeavour, established in 1942, has, over its long and proud history, developed into one of the leading journals in the history and philosophy of science. Endeavour publishes high-quality articles on a wide array of scientific topics from ancient to modern, across all disciplines. It serves as a critical forum for the interdisciplinary exploration and evaluation of natural knowledge and its development throughout history. Each issue contains lavish color and black-and-white illustrations. This makes Endeavour an ideal destination for history and philosophy of science articles with a strong visual component. Endeavour presents the history and philosophy of science in a clear and accessible manner, ensuring the journal is a valuable tool for historians, philosophers, practicing scientists, and general readers. To enable it to have the broadest coverage possible, Endeavour features four types of articles: -Research articles are concise, fully referenced, and beautifully illustrated with high quality reproductions of the most important source material. -In Vivo articles will illustrate the rich and numerous connections between historical and philosophical scholarship and matters of current public interest, and provide rich, readable explanations of important current events from historical and philosophical perspectives. -Book Reviews and Commentaries provide a picture of the rapidly growing history of science discipline. Written by both established and emerging scholars, our reviews provide a vibrant overview of the latest publications and media in the history and philosophy of science. -Lost and Found Pieces are playful and creative short essays which focus on objects, theories, tools, and methods that have been significant to science but underappreciated by collective memory.
