"This open access book studies the transdisciplinary culture of "morphogenic modernism," a strain of creative interaction across fields in twentieth-century Britain that began in the German Bauhaus during the 1920s. With the emigration of figures from the Bauhaus to London during the 1930s, a new field of creative action unfolded according to the logic of biological emergence. The precepts of modern German design took hold among a group of embryologists, geneticists, crystallographers, and physicists creating a panoply of pioneering exhibitions, publications, laboratory experiments, and art and design projects. Terranova shows how such collaborations created extraordinary outcomes in the arts, humanities, and sciences.
