Genetically modified fluorescent e. coli bacteria was recorded growing into the shape of the MTV logo over a 24 hour period.

The work emulates the contagious and sometimes negative qualities of popular music.

Known as the man who pinched two hundred doormats and smashed a scaffolding pole through a gallery window before exhibiting the results, Harman may cause controversy, but his artwork has proven to be far more constructive than destructive.
