CRISPR/Cas9-NHEJ: Action in the Nucleus in the Future Room exhibition: Ästhetik der Veränderung - 150 Jahre Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien.
The computer-animated scientific visualization was shown in the video night of Klang Moor Schopfe 2019.
Kepler's Garden Future Room and Liminal Spaces 360° film screening Fulldome / VR & AR Lab of the Digital Arts department of the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
CRISPR/Cas9-NHEJ:
Action in the Nucleus (2017)
is derived
from an interdisciplinary creative process between gene-editing
scientists and a science visualization lab. This paper discusses the
creation of this 360° scientific computer animation, the usage of
data from the worldwide Protein Data Bank, and the audio-visual
presentation in an interactive dome setup. Since the topic is
significant for the future of humanity, further immersive experiences
inside cells including genetic engineering should be considered.
• In 2050, every ten years we will march into
a clinic and receive makeovers that will cure illness and regenerate decaying tissues, upgrade hands, eyes and brains.
• The development of fields, such as genetic engineering, regenerative medicine and nanotechnology, fosters prophecies.
• Biological engineering, cyborg engineering and engineering of non-organic being
• Regenerate decaying tissues, and upgrade hands, eyes and brains?
• We are a-mortal rather than immortal.
• Blueprints of our bodies!
• Change biochemistry and re-engineer our bodies and mind.
• Genetic engineering, regenerative medicine and nanotechnology?
• Upgrading the human body and mind.
•
Is it impossible to re-engineer human minds? Organisms are algorithms,
•
and humans are not individuals.
•
Hack humanity!
Was commissioned by rector Gerald Bast for the Future Room exhibition in MAK to celebrate the University's 150 year anniversary!
