She is the co-founder and co-director of C-LAB,[1] a developing art/science studio lab with Howard Boland who is the co-founder and artistic director of C-LAB and an artist working with Synthetic Biology.
Martian Rose is an installation which carries the romantic and destructive idea of giving a rose to
Mars. Using a planetary simulation chamber the exhibited rose has been exposed to Martian Environment for 6 hours. Mars is a cold place with plummeting temperatures from −60 °C down to −130 °C, the atmospheric pressure is less than 1% of earth's, much lower than on
Mount Everest, the prevalent gas is carbon dioxide and UV light penetrates an unshielded atmosphere. The experiment took place on 27 March 2007 at the Mars Simulation Laboratory (
University of Aarhus,
Denmark) where two (miniature) red roses were subjected to proxy Martian parameters.[3]
The Cactus Project is
transgenic artwork involving the fusion of human genetic material into the cactus genome resulting in the cactus expressing human hair.[4]
