Latent Figure Protocol
Paul Vanouse (US)
Prix Ars Electronica 2007 “Hybrid Art. Honorary Mention.”
Instead of choosing the path of “visualization art” which often uses the technique of gel-electrophoresis to create abstract “DNA portraits,” in Latent Figure Protocol Vanouse utilizes these DNA sequencing technologies not simply to stage images of a sequence of DNA in a gel (like a DNA fingerprint), but rather DNA sequences in a gel that are specifically chosen to create a quasiphotographic representation of another subject, such as the copyright symbol. The jury acknowledges this performative biotech art installation for its refined subversive potential in displaying biotechnologies in relation to their philosophical, political and economic parameters.
