Andre Brodyk undertook a 10 day residency in December 2001 and investigated the potentials of developing GFP modified E coli for application as new drawing media under the direction of Oron Catts in the School of Anatomy and Human Biology and Gary Cass in the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences.

Preliminary research was undertaken for his 'DNArt' project in microbiology techniques for visualising the artists's drawings of inanimate objects.using gmos. Brodyk was also introduced to tissue culture methods being used and developed by TC&A.

Brodyk began using genetics laboratories as a new media studio, living transgenic organisms as new art media and genetics protocols as new art processes during his residency in SymbioticA. He exhibited in SymbioticA’s 2002 exhibition, BIOFEEL: Art and Biology during BEAP2002.

2001 residency funded by the University of Newcastle School of Humanities Project Initiation Grant Scheme.

2002 2 ½ month residency funded through the University of Newcastle and the artist.
