Brilliant ideas in bio-art and AI ethics often stall due to lack of structured development frameworks.
The situation this course is for
Artists working with advanced science are expected to navigate funding, ethics review, lab access, IP law, and public engagement without formal support structures. Most existing courses are either too technical or too abstract, leaving hybrid practitioners underserved.
Who this is for
Charlotte is a practicing artist who partners with scientists to explore ethical dimensions of biotechnology and AI. She operates at the edge of institutional support, creating works that challenge norms while requiring rigorous collaboration frameworks.
Who this is not for
This is not for traditional gallery-focused artists, pure lab scientists, or AI engineers without artistic practice.
What you walk away with
- Structure artist-scientist collaborations with clear governance pathways
- Encode ethical principles into technical designs like DNA or AI agents
- Navigate institutional review boards and biosafety regulations
- Secure funding for experimental bio-art and AI ethics projects
- Build public trust through transparent project narratives
