Lapin fluorescent, transfusion sanguine inter-spécifique, grenouilles déformées, voici quelques exemples de la variété des œuvres dites de bioart. Ce courant pose fondamentalement des problématiques éthiques. Faut-il interdire des œuvres d'art dépassant les limites éthiques définies dans un pays donné ? Mais alors où est la liberté artistique s'il y a censure ? Quelle est la place de la réflexion éthique dans le processus de création artistique ? Quel est le regard des artistes sur les développements biotechnologiques ? Comment se positionnent-ils ? Dans ce volume, vous retrouverez les réflex-ions de bioartistes, de philosophes, ainsi que de théoriciens de l'art croisant les regards autour du lien entre bioart et éthique. Ouvrage collectif produit par: les éditions CQFD, le Centre d'éthique contemporaine (université Paul-Valéry de Montpellier et Université de Montpellier) et l'Institut ACTE (université Paris-1 Panthéon-Sorbonne). Textes de Guillaume BAGNOLINI, Manuela DE BARROS, Marianne CLOUTIER, Marc JIMENEZ, Eduardo KAC, François-Joseph LA-POINTE, Marion LAVAL-JEANTET, Dominique LESTEL, Elena Giulia ROSSI, Paolo STELLINO. Inclus : Manifeste du Bioart, rédigé et signé par des artistes pionniers du mouvement.

De plus en plus d’artistes utilisent les nouvelles technologies à des fins esthétiques et artistiques. Des termes et des expressions tels bioart, biotech, biofacts, art transgénique, biogénétique, art in vitro, etc, désignent ainsi des créations hybrides mi-artistiques, mi-scientifiques. Ces «oeuvres», volontairement provocantes, dérangent. Elles ébranlent l’imaginaire et transgressent parfois les limites traditionnellement et historiquement assignées à l’art occidental. Elles troublent aussi notre jugement en révélant, au-delà du domaine de l’art, une multiplicité d’enjeux d’ordre éthique, religieux, philosophique, culturel, juridique et politique. La neuroesthétique, espace interdisciplinaire entre l’esthétique, les neurosciences et les sciences cognitives, représente aujourd’hui un aspect particulièrement novateur de l’alliance entre l’art et la science. Les questions qu’elle pose sont nombreuses : quelle est la part de l’inné et de l’acquis dans l’expression de notre sensibilité au beau ? Existe-t-il des dispositions neuronales, des structures cérébrales, qui favorisent la reconnaissance et l’appréciation de la beauté ? Peut-on identifier les processus physiologiques qui déterminent ou accompagnent l’expérience esthétique plastique ou musicale, etc ? Autant d’interrogations tournées vers un futur incertain, sources d’inquiétude, auxquelles la technoscience livre peu à peu ses propres réponses. Autant de défis que doit tenter de relever néanmoins la réflexion esthétique.

The interactions between artistic, technical, scientific, living, and nonliving things have inspired new artistic approaches. The contributors to this volume either relate to theoretical discourses raised by artworks, show how young artists today approach cultural issues, or develop situations of living together with other species. All the contributions to this publication by writers, artists, technologies, and other organisms invite the reader into new experiences and new imaginaries. The reader is also invited to rethink the role of art and the role of the artist within umwelts, milieus, and habitats.

Covert Plants contributes to newly emerging discourses on the implications of vegetal life for the arts and culture. This stretches to changes in our perception of ‘nature’ and to the adapting roles of botany, evolutionary ecology, and environmental aesthetics in the humanities. Its editors and contributors seek various expressions of vegetal life rather than the mere representation of such, and they proceed from the conviction that a rigorous approach to thinking with and through vegetal life must be interdisciplinary. At a time when urgent calls for restorative care and reparative action have been sounded for the environment, this essay volume presents a range of academic and creative perspectives, from evolutionary biology to literary theory, philosophy to poetry, which respond to the perplexing problems and paradoxes of vegetal thinking. Representations of vegetal life often include plant analogies and plant imagery. These representations have at times obscured the diversity of plant behavior and experience. Covert Plants probes the implications of vegetal life for thought and how new plant science is changing our perception of the vegetal — around us and in us. How can we think, speak, and write about plant life without falling into human-nature dyads, or without tumbling into reductive theoretical notions about the always complex relations between cognition and action, identity and value, subject and object? A full view of this shifting perspective requires a ‘stereoscopic’ lens through which to view plants, but also simultaneously to alter our human-centered viewpoint. Plants are no longer the passive object of contemplation, but are increasingly resembling ‘subjects,’ ‘stakeholders,’ or ‘actors.’ As such, the plant now makes unprecedented demands upon the nature of contemplation itself. Moreover, the aesthetic, political, and legal implications of new knowledge regarding plants’ ability to communicate, sense, and learn require intensive, cross-disciplinary investigation. By doing this, we can intervene into current attitudes to climate change and sustainability, and hopefully revise, for the better, human philosophies, ethics, and aesthetics that touch upon plant life.
