Manipulating Stem Cells in New Media Labs: Developing a Protocol Template Toward an Innovative Understanding of Cancer

This statement presents a draft of a protocol template designed to manipulate stem cells within the context of a cooperation between biology labs and new media arts labs. This protocol aims at building a methodological synthesis to understand cancerous cells using not only lab facilities but also new media arts tools, applications and vision. The template illustrates potential technical, conceptual and aesthetic inputs derived from a new media arts lab. On the other hand, three output channels have been emphasized to contribute to stem cell research, new media arts research and public engagement.
