Leading the path of bio-revolution, Critical Art Ensemble is a group of five tactical media artists dedicated to exploring the intersections between art, technology, critical theory, and political activism. Showcasing their talents in form of eco-art, they address issues of widespread biotechnology using everything from live performances, to installation art, to controversial counter science. They have been choosing a subject in a specific cultural situation and accordingly create a work within that context, with that particular audience, and within the social space of everyday life. For the past seven years, they has focused on biotechnology, its colonizing effects and ideological layering, and the bio-revolution in global capitalism.
