Alba


Genre : BioArt
Support : transgenic rabbit
Subjects : 1.) Technological Convergence

1.1.) GMO

With GFP Bunny Kac welcomes Alba, the green fluorescent rabbit, and explains that transgenic art must be created “with great care, with acknowledgment of the complex issues at the core of the work and, above all, with a commitment to respect, nurture, and love the life thus created.” The first phase of the GFP Bunny project was completed in February 2000 with the birth of “Alba” in Jouy-en-Josas, France. The second phase is the ongoing debate, which started with the first public announcement of Alba’s birth, made by Kac in the context of the Planet Work conference, in San Francisco, on May 14, 2000. The third phase will take place when the bunny comes home to Chicago, becoming part of Kac’s family and living with him from that point on.

Evening Reboot


Genre : Photo

Subjects : 1.) Technological Convergence

1.4.) Interfaces Human / technology / nature

From the serie “Formatting Gaia II” :

The cycle between human beings and the natural world has been transformed into a new formation that inspires intricate modes of transmitting and receiving information.  Through the development of modern technologies human beings have begun to unfold the possibilities of telematic and cybernetic systems of communication.   Earth is no longer a simple exchange of biological entities, but a more complex system that employs digital signal to mediate our existence within it.

Human beings, technology, and nature are now all part of a congruous system of existence that is becoming more and more visible in our landscape.  Formatting Gaia depicts this world, where there is a physical connection between the three and all work in unison with one another.

These images explore an alternate version of the human existence than what we have known it to be in our short history.  As opposed to being what we at times feel to be independent of nature and technology, the images show the necessity we have for them, as well as how we have used technology to steer our own genetic makeup. Photographic investigations into this world leave one with a visual depiction of the possibilities that we’ve already begun to travel toward along our evolutionary path.
