Abstract
Artist-researchers Heidi Pietarinen and Amna Qureshi from the University of Lapland have conducted in-depth work on the innovative BioARTech laboratory environment and utilisation of available resources for a bioart project called Life Between Art and (Reindeer) Blood. The aim and focus of the project was to utilise reindeer blood as a reindeer herding by-material instead of treating it as waste material. Through the arts-based research (ABR) approach, this research aims to develop activities that integrate environmental biotechnology, bioart, surface pattern design, and science.
