cellF: Embodying Neural Networks with Musical Bodies

The ‘extended body’ defines a growing body of work in the realm of biological art that uses biological material towards the creation of art. The cellF project is one example that uses in-vitro human neurons as the engine to drive a custom-made analogue modular synthesiser. cellF exists on the peripheries of art, science, music and design to create a semi-living musical instrument. It points the way to future scenarios of autonomous music-making entities that are driven by intelligence born from living cells and tissue.
