THREE DIFFERENT TYPES OF PROJECTS TAKE PLACE IN BIOTEHNA:

ART PRODUCTION

Most artists who use living systems in their art projects need an equipped laboratory which enables basic laboratory standards for breeding organisms, tissues or cells. With the aid of Kristijan Tkalec, the laboratory technician, the artists can develop their works of art to the level at which they can be presented in the Kapelica Gallery.

SCIENTIFIC AND ARTISTIC RESEARCH

The advantage of working in BioTehna is that users can develop their projects in an optimal environment, free of institutionalized demands. This allows an interesting group of artists, scientists and engineers to develop their potentials outside of the traditional frames, which provides the perfect conditions for radical innovations.

EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME

The BioTehna team organizes workshops for children, youth and adults, who want to get acquainted with the world of biotechnologies. The workshop participants can use the obtained knowledge to create art projects or in their independent research work. The workshops are closely linked to the multi-disciplinary educational programme of the Kersnikova Institute.
