Cyanobacteria are photosynthetic bacteria that grow by absorbing metals and minerals dissolved from substrates.
They slowly promote the biological deposition of such minerals, transforming landscapes. “Biogenic Timestamp” is a project investigating the relationship between geological time and biological time. Drawing on the breadth of time-based artistic practices and new developments in synthetic biology, we explore different aspects of the material expression of temporality and arrangement, studying cyanobacteria as model organisms. The concept of time (and its manipulation) embodied by cyanobacteria and their by-products offers fertile ground for exploring various modes of time-based artistic practice.
This project includes artistic research at several sites of biological and biogenic-geological significance, and laboratory work exploring possibilities for human-induced biogenesis. Considering biogenic structures of geological and anthropogenic origins, our artistic research offers alternative uses and critical interpretations of synthetic biology.

シアノバクテリアは光合成細菌であり、基板から溶解した金属や鉱物を吸収して成長します。
彼らはそのような鉱物の生物学的沈降をゆっくりと促進し、景観を変容させます。「バイオジェニック・タイムスタンプ」は、地質学的時間と生物学的時間の関係を研究するプロジェクトです。私たちは、時間に基づく芸術的実践の幅と合成生物学の新たな展開を活用し、時間性と配置の物質的表出のさまざまな側面を探求し、シアノバクテリアをモデル生物として研究しています。シアノバクテリアとその副産物によって具現化された時間の概念(およびその操作)は、時間に基づく様々な芸術実践の様式を探求するための肥沃な土壌です。
本プロジェクトは、生物学的および生物生成地質学的に重要な場所のいくつかにおける芸術的研究と、人間誘発による生物生成の可能性を探求する実験室作業を含んでいます。地質学的および人為的に由来する生物起源構造を考慮することにより、我々の芸術的研究は合成生物学の代替的な活用と批判的解釈を提供します。(IWASAKI Hideo + Oron CATTS + Juan M.カストロ)
