Innovations in the mapping of the human genome, in medical and biological research, and in the genetic modification of plant and animal life have created fertile territory for appropriation by the arts, architecture, and design. In the past, architectural and artistic objects have primarily imitated natural structures and forms. Now, however, the distinctions between object and subject, organic and inorganic matter, and artificial and virtual existence are becoming increasingly blurred. The Gen(H)ome Project addresses questions related to the paradigmatic shift occurring in the way artists, architects and designers reflect the natural sciences in general, and biology and genetics in particular. The exhibition presents works that involve cutting edge theoretical practice, innovations in fabrication design, and other contemporary trends by, among others, Greg Lynn, Marcos Novak, Ocean UK, and Servo. Organized by Open Source Architecture and Kimberli Meyer.
