A book detailing Essaidi's Bio / Art project. From the Publisher- 'Bulletproof skin, Exploring Boundaries by Piercing Barriers' is a beautiful book of art & writing about project '2.6g 329m/s'. A stunning hardcover book with a special cover and paper that feels soft like skin/silk. "A project that embraces both art and science and balances on the border of imagination and reality. Which is perhaps the most exciting place to be as a scientist and as an artist!" Robbert Dijkgraaf "What [this book] does what very few books about biotech art do: it brings the project but also the whole field into a broader context. Scientists, philosophers and renowned people involved in the 'biotech art' world contributed to the volume with essays that ponder on the ethical, cultural, artistic and scientific meaning of the project and of biotech artworks in general." Régine Debatty.
