Abstract: Crossing Kingdoms is an artist-led attempt to fuse yeast cells with human embryonic kidney cells. In pursuing the creation of a biological entity that would not exist without human intervention, Crossing Kingdoms provokes scientific, aesthetic, and cultural discussions, asking, “What is this living thing, and what consequences follow its existence?” This discussion with artist-researchers from SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia will present new ways of considering the categorization of life in the context of synthetic biology.
