Ontogenetic art [Οντογενετική Τέχνη]

Ontogeny (derives from the ancient hellenic όν=to be, that which exists, present participle όντος and γένος=ancestry).


Ontogenetic art is a term by Yiannis Melanitis describing art involving any ontogenetic act on a living organism (this may include synthetic organisms).

Ontogenesis or ontogeny, in biology,

describes structural changes and was coined by Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919), meaning the development of the individual organism [Futuyma, D.J. 1998. Evolutionary Biology][1].

Haeckel also described phylogeny as the evolutionary history of species [Futuyma, D.J. 1998. Evolutionary Biology][2], while artistically the term might be expanded to include every intentional change on organisms.

Changing the genetic status of an organism is quite old practice, including animal and plant breeding by choice [for an artistic procedure see George Gessert] or chance and may be in vivo or in vitro.

Ontogenetic change, in art theory might also refer to the concept of the organism changing as a whole, used to emphasize on something that affects the organism so intensively as to modify its basic properties.(ontologic change).
