INCUBATOR: Hybrid Laboratory at the Intersection of Art, Science and Ecology, is a bioart research and teaching facility housed in the School of Creative Arts at University of Windsor in Canada. Founded in 2009 by Dr. Jennifer Willet, INCUBATOR houses ongoing student and faculty bioart projects, science and technology studies research, and special events investigating the intersection of biotechnology, art and ecology. This paper traces for readers the fundamental conceptual premise of INCUBATOR lab activities, the complex ecological entanglement between contemporary laboratory practices and our planetary ecology as a case study to elucidate the research/creation process at play within the lab.
