THE GEN(H)OME PROJECT

30.10.2006 - 25.02.2007

Schindler House

Decoding the human genome and genetically modifying plants and animals present new challenges for artists, architects and designers: the borders between subject and object, between organic and inorganic material as well as artistic and virtual existence become increasingly fluid. “The Gen(h)ome Project” deals with paradigm shifts in artistic responses to science, above all biology and genetics.

Participants include
Greg Lynn/FORM, Karl Chu, Servo, Marcos Novak, ocean D, Weathers-Sean Lally, Phillippe Rahm, Christa Sommerer & Laurent Mignonneau, and Open Source Architecture.

The exhibition is guest curated by
Eran Neuman, Aaron Sprecher and Chandler Ahrens of Open Source Architecture, with MAK Center Director Kimberli Meyer.
