Biopresence / Shiho Fukuhara (JP), Georg Tremmel (AT)
“Biopresence” by Shiho Fukuhara (JP) and Georg Tremmel (AT) creates “Human DNA Trees” by transcoding the essence of a human being within the DNA of a tree in order to create “Living Memorials” or “Transgenic Tombstones”. “Biopresence” is collaborating with scientist and artist Joe Davis on his “DNA Manifold algorithm”, which allows for the transcoding and entwinement of human and tree DNAs.
The Materia Prima exhibition has been produced jointly by LABoral Centro de Arte in Gijón, Spain, and Ars Electronica Export.
