Abstract

This paper examines the role played by biotech art in Mexico and the way in which it has been inscribed in the local issues. Specifically, it focuses on the first biotech art exhibition in Mexico and on the production of the installations at the National University. It emphasises the epistemological and aesthetic problems encountered during the production of the artworks and the setting up of the exhibition.
