Documents from TTTlabs and TTTfellows BioFeral.BeachCamp “Do it With Others” in vitro fertilisation camps (TTTlabs BFBC IVF DIWOfert), this reel gathers moments from the 2023 and 2024 TTTlabs BioFeral.BeachCamp and TTTfellows residencies — spaces where body, biotech, and ritual intertwine around creative, hands-on, In Vitro Fertilisation (DIY-IVF+). The themes of new reproductive technology and human germline gene editing included depth research creation and workshops in ovum and sperm stimulation and collection, fertilisation through artificial microinjection insemination, germline gene editing, cryogenic suspended animation archive banking, mutant embryo implantation studies and ex-vivo wombs.
The events were part of the Ionian University contribution to the Rewilding Cultures project activities, co-funded by the Creative Europe Program of the European Union.

Adam Zaretsky, Ph.D., is a former researcher at MIT's Department of Biology and an experimental bioartist with over a decade of teaching experience. His art practice critically explores the legal, ethical, social, and libidinal implications of biotechnological materials and methods, with a particular focus on transgenic humans. Known for his engaging, hands-on bioart labs, Zaretsky creates dynamic spaces for bioart production.
He has led the VivoArts experimental bioart class at institutions including San Francisco State University (SFSU), SymbioticA at the University of Western Australia (UWA), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI), The Arts and Genomic Centre (TAGC) at Leiden University, and the Waag Society. He is the Head of Research at Nadlinc (since 2016) and a Research Consultant at BEAK (since 2022) in New York. Since 2024, he has been a Visiting Professor at the Department of Audio & Visual Arts at the Ionian University, where he also serves as the Creative Director of TTTlabs and TTTfellows in the "Rewilding Cultures" project (2022-2026), part of the Feral Lab Network, co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
