What bothers me are the issues of invasive plants and turning artists
loose in the environment, who have no concept of ecology and as far as I
can see from biocoder, no real interest in it. So if you release a
luminous plant, whatver, you're not really thinking through things like
commons, stewardship, carbon or nitrogen biogeochemical cycles, etc.;
you're creating something neat. Meanwhile monarchs are going rapidly
extinct from gmo, etc. The balance doesn't work for me; we rightly condemn
gmo agribusiness but applaud artists doing the same on a smaller scale.

I've been reading this and still have questions about conservation
practices among people who might not know much about ecology - in
addition to producing bioart - I haven't finished this issue but the
first issue didn't touch on these themes which I think are critical
considering the ravaging of the planet that's going on -
