BioArt: Museum & Galleries Survey Questionnaire
We would greatly appreciate a few minutes of your time to fill out this questionnaire.
BioArt as a new art form, which is associated with different forms of life, raises many debates, controversies, conflicts, approbation or disapprobation. However, research outlining the impact of BioArt exhibitions to the public has not been extensively conducted.
TEI of Athens, in collaboration with researchers from Columbia University and the Panteion University of Athens, has launched a research project entitled “BioArt: Borders and definitions. Research project for the development of a widely accepted deontological framework of its production and management”. One of the main objectives of the project is to identify whether the institutional bodies and entities in possession of Bioart and biological materials operate under specific ethical and legal regulations.
