Title: Fiction on new genetic possibilities
Post by: lynnhershman on 09/12/2013 20:07:11
Hi, I'm an artist and filmmaker. I've been making work on the relationship between humans and technology for decades now, and more recently on the possibilities opened up by advances in genetics and regenerative medicine. My latest project is called The Infinity Engine http://theinfinityengine.com/ (http://theinfinityengine.com/). It's a joint installation and film. The installation is a dynamic replica of a real genetics lab. I wrote the script for the film based on my interviews with scientists like Dr. Anthony Atala, Dr. George Church, Dr. Elizabeth Blackburn and others. As people interested in medicine, I would be curious to hear your thoughts on a project like this.
