Abstract
“Ex-Utero: A Sculptural Exploration of Ectogenesis” is a provocative examination of human reproduction and the extraordinary possibilities of ectogenesis. This collaborative project merges scientific inquiry with artistic methodologies to investigate the human placenta as a transient and temporary organ. The project envisions a future where pregnancy occurs entirely outside the body and relies on a mechanized, man-made version of the placenta. Project collaborators: Cristin Millett, Cynthia White, Ionat Zurr, Dan Hayes, Thomas Neuberger, Tim Ryan and Jonas Rubenson. Project consultants: Center for Reproductive Biology and Health, Alison Gernand, Jamie Heilman, David Marie, OriginLabs Project support from the Huck Institutes of Life Science, the College of Arts and Architecture, SymbioticA (Perth), and the Australian-American Fulbright Commission
