Science Gallery Dublin
OPEN LABS -exhibition together with Bioart SocietyIn Living images, the artist cultivates yeast on growth mediums to create images. The process brings photographs to life as raster images are exposed onto cultivated yeast with Ultraviolet (405 – 365nm) LED lamps. The UV-lights kill/injure part of the yeast cells during the 48-hour exposure process. The picture is formed when the yeast cells sheltered by the black parts of the raster images survive and the other cells are killed or damaged by the UV-light. Through her artistic research process, the artist studies the images by photographing them for different lengths of time, exploring the world by artistic means with methods from the biosciences. She learned the technique from Pavillon_35 art group in 2013 in a workshop that was held with the Finnish Bioart Society. Since then she has been working with yeast images.

NO REPRO FEE 14/3/2019 OPEN LABS, the latest free exhibition at Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, showcases a DIY culture across science, technology and activism where a lab can be set up in the kitchen, the forest, the bedroom or the street. Pictured is Johanna Rotko from Finland with her work, Living Images created by Yeast-o-grams, which is yeast cells cultivated under an Ultraviolet LED lamp forming portrait photographs in petri dishes. OPEN LABS is running until the 2nd of June. PHOTO: Mark Stedman
