Green – oder wie ein Licht die Welt verdreht
Reinhard Nestelbacher, DNA-Consult/A
Numerous images from and about the world of science drastically revise laypersons" perspectives of the world. For the first time in history, it has become feasible for Scientific Man to utilize animals as picture-generating apparatuses. The GFP green-glowing mouse is one of the most extraordinary examples of a genetic engineering intervention that disturbs and alters our accustomed way of looking at things-and ultimately necessitates a radical redefinition of the concept of a "work of art." The GFP pixel panels of bacteria cultures bring together into a single picture two revolutionary social developments: the pixel from image-display information technology and the living creature as image-generating material - and behind it all stand human beings and their will to accomplish.
