Glowing Bacteria Art - Stocker and Nestelbacher's GFPixel.

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Science & Tech on February 13, 2006 at 12:36 am


Austrian artist Gerfried Stocker and molecular biologist Reinhard Nestelbacher collaborated to create this unique "painting" made from genetically modified fluorescent bacteria. These bugs are arranged in thousands of petri-dishes – with the pattern determined by the gene expression of the fluorescent protein (called GFP or green fluorescent protein, hence the title of the artwork).
