Founded in 2018, Norwegian BioArt Arena –NOBA is the first permanent arena for BioArt in Norway. We organise art exhibitions and events featuring Norwegian and international artists and scientists with a focus on sustainable development, the environment, and life sciences. NOBA aims to be a platform for art that engages with the living world, with questions and methods from the sciences. A critical attitude combined with playful, sensory exploration is central to NOBA’s approach.
Bioart Society

The Eco- and Bioart Lab
(Linköping, Sweden)
The Eco- and Bioart Lab (EBL), founded by Dr Marietta Radomska, connects artists, artistic researchers and other practitioners, as well as doctoral students whose practice and research focus on art and the environment in their broadest understanding.
The Eco- and Bioart Lab opens up a transdisciplinary space, where artistic practice and research converge with philosophy, cultural theory, performance studies, art studies, visual culture, queer death studies, environmental humanities and posthumanities in synergy and as equally legitimate voices. In this way, EBL addresses critical questions concerned with life/death, nature/culture, art/science, ecology, environment, vulnerability, materiality and the body in a more-than-human sense.
