 *Culture has given up on the real, but science pursues the
 realization of the artificial with the pervert^Òs obsessive zeal.*
 --Iain Hamilton Grant, (At the Mountains of Madness).
 
 Bio_informatics is in the process of colonizing the last strings of
 life-^Ñthe artificial^Ò. The bio_artifact is now the location of a new
 order of bi-product and exchange where all cells are for sale. Life
 becomes an artificial condition driven forward by the systemic
 prejudices of molecular biology. It is within this cultural petri dish
 that Fakeshop in June 1998 intiatited a Fake_laboratory frame
 with it^Òs performative staging of an event entitled *Multiple
 Dwellings*.
 A series of Fake_research events have since gathered together a
 multi_zone network of bio_representation_investigators: Jeff Gompretz,
 Eugene Thacker, Diane Ludin, Ricardo Dominguez and Prema Murthy.
 Fake_life experiments have been performed and interstaged between
 several bio_exchange  networks: performance events, CUseeme,
 synchronous chat, realaudio/video, HTML and javascript based
 presentations and research. Each Fake_Experiment reiterates
 the process of analysis as it moves between the various conditions.

 Organs 2.0
 
 If you can see it, it^Òs already dead
 vision machines cut the body
 distributing the harvest
 across bio-markets
 each organ
 hijacked
 into the 'Gene Rush'
 each body a site of profit
 who has access to the body
 now
 
 If you can see it, it is already dead
 individual organs override the value
 of the body
 the genome project
 overrides the rights
 of the body
 Each new mapping carves
 all life into splice economies
 who has access to the body
 now
 
 If you can see it, it is already dead
 the body is being digested
 via vertical and horizontal
 integration of all tissue
 into the transgenic flow
 dividing the body into
 biological class strings
 who has access to the body
 now
 
 If you can see it, it is already dead
 each time the body is cast
 into electronic illumination
 it becomes meat
 for the archive
 of defects and perfection
 we now have Pepsi eyes
 and Coke lips
 who has access to the body
 now
 
 If you can see it, it is already dead
 genomic investments scan
 the body for ownership
 Darwin Molecular owns
 genes from Tibet
 Millennium owns
 Brazilian asthma
 who has access to the body
 now
