Ornamism


or-nam-ism
n., plural: ornamisms
derived from ‘ornamental organism’
An individual form of life, such as a plant, animal, bacterium,
protist, or fungus enhanced by biotechnology for aesthetic or
conceptual purposes.

‘The ornamism project’ functions not only as an informative platform for ornamental organisms, but also to the entire world of art that explores the boundaries of the natural world for aesthetic or conceptual goals. Bioart, transgenic art, environmental art; art that is conceived on the borders of what we traditionally accept as nature.
