Larry Achiampong & David Blandy, Toby Jackson
Saturday 2 - Sunday 17 November, Thursday - Sunday, 12:00pm - 5:00pm
GENERATORprojects
25/26 Mid Wynd Industrial Estate
Dundee, DD1 4JG
GENERATORprojects will present two exhibitions, Genetic Automata and Sensor
Genetic Automata by Larry Achiampong and David Blandy forms the first part of an ambitious new body of works by the artists, exploring race and identity in an age of avatars, video games, and DNA Ancestry testing. Initially commissioned by Arts Catalyst, this exhibition will be shown during NEoN Festival as part of a national tour.
Referencing the history of the theory of evolution, and the relationship between Darwin and his taxidermy teacher John Edmonstone, a freed slave, Genetic Automata raises important questions of invisible histories, eugenics, and segregation, through the lens of historical and contemporary contexts. The video installation combines animation, spoken word and text interspersed with microscopic topographies of varied shades of skin, digital renditions of skin from video games, and film footage of taxidermied bird life from Darwin’s bird skin collection at the Natural History Museum.
Sensor by emerging artist Toby Jackson is an extension of work that he has been developing over the past few years, highlighting the relationships between humans and computers; lived experience, and its digital manipulation. Sensor will use live capture 3D mapping to create an interactive projection which maps and distorts the audience’s movements, dictating the ways in which we interact with the work. The projected images will reference digital avatars via the visual simplifications of those who interact with it, questioning ideas of identity, privacy and anonymity in a world of digital surveillance.This relationship between the artwork and the audience will highlight the precarious power dynamic that exists between humans and computers, encouraging us to disrupt this dynamic, and reclaim control of our own narratives.
Each of these exhibitions discusses the insidious ways in which narratives can be altered and sculpted in order to disseminate ideas which negatively influence collective thinking. encourages us to reconsider our interactions with technology in order to combat this deceptive influence. Genetic Automata urges an awareness of the ways in which historical omissions can contribute to contemporary issues, particularly in relation to racial discrimination and segregation. Ultimately, these exhibitions combine to encourage a heightened awareness of the responsibility that each of us hold to question the information that we are forced to consume.
About the Artists
Larry Achiampong & David Blandy’s work has been shown both within the UK and abroad including Tate Modern, London; The Baltic, Gateshead; Yorkshire Sculpture Park, Wakefied; Fact, Liverpool; BFI London Film Festival, London; Transmediale Festival, Berlin, Germany & Fort Worth Contemporary Arts, Texas, USA. They have been on residencies at Praksis, Oslo in Norway & Wysing Arts Centre, Cambridgeshire. Recent awards include an Elephant Trust award and support from Arts Council England. They have been shortlisted for the Film London Jarman award 2018. Larry Achiampong is represented by Copperfield Gallery, London & David Blandy is represented by Seventeen Gallery, London.
Toby Jackson is a Scotland-based digital artist, who uses innovative technology to create installations which are both interactive and generative. Jackson’s work explores themes of identity, self-expression, surveillance, and censorship, and the ways in which each of these affects – or is effected by – abstract representation of the self in our digital age. Following the critical success of his most recent work Blind Eye, this exhibition marks Jackson’s first solo show since graduating from DJCAD earlier this summer.

This is another S1 skin which was particularly well received when I first did it making it another natural to port to S2.
My results from the Genographic project.
Your Y-chromosome results identify you as a member of haplogroup J2.
The genetic markers that define your ancestral history reach back roughly 60,000 years to the first common marker of all non-African men, M168, and follow your lineage to present day, ending with M172, the defining marker of haplogroup J2.
If you look at the map highlighting your ancestors' route, you will see that members of haplogroup J2 carry the following Y-chromosome markers:
M168 > M89 > M304 > M172
Today, descendants of this line appear in the highest frequencies in the Middle East, North Africa, and Ethiopia, and at a much lower frequency in Europe, where it is observed exclusively in the Mediterranean area. Approximately 20 percent of the males in southern Italy carry the marker, along with ten percent of men in southern Spain.
Further down it reads:
M172: Toward the Mediterranean
Fast Facts
Time of Emergence: 10,000 years ago
Place of Origin: Fertile Crescent
Climate: Ice Age ending
Estimated Number of Homo sapiens: A few million
Language: Unknown
Tools and Skills: Neolithic
Your ancestors left a physical footprint that matches their genetic journey. Artifacts from ancient towns such as Jericho, also known as Tell el-Sultan, a site close to present day Jerusalem, provide evidence of permanent human settlements to around 8500 B.C. The sites also suggest the transition from hunter-gatherer to settled life occurred relatively suddenly.
The M172 marker defines a major subset of haplogroup J, which arose from the M89 lineage. It is found today in North Africa, the Middle East, and southern Europe. In southern Italy it occurs at frequencies of 20 percent, and in southern Spain, 10 percent of the population carries this marker. Both haplogroup J and its subgroup J2 are found at a combined frequency of around 30 percent amongst Jewish individuals.
--------------------------------------------------------------
As my father's side of the family hails from Italy, it is no surprise that I bear the M172 marker.

Polymorphisms of the adaA genetic region demonstrated using seven C. burnetii reference genomes.Three deletion events resulting in two main deletion types (Q154 and Q212) and three adaA gene variants (adaA, adaASNP and adaArep) resulting from independent mutation processes were identified in silico. The organization of the adaA flanking region of the Dugway genome (displayed in the center) is compared to the other six reference genomes. Just for the purpose of visual compactness, the light orange region was pruned between the ORFs CBUD_1100 and CBUD_1122. Gene annotations are obtained from GenBank. Coding genes are drawn in blue, pseudogenes in white and the adaA gene in red. Arrow direction represents the location of the ORFs at the forward and backward strand. Locus tags are shortened by its common prefix and written above the ORFs. If gene names are known, they are written next to their locus tag and in parentheses. Long collinear blocks (LCBs) are shown as colored rectangles at the backbone of the Dugway genome. The pairwise syntenic regions between the genomes are drawn in lighter color, accordingly. The phylogenetic relationship is shown at the left side. Just for visualization purposes, the Dugway genome was rotated to the middle. The length of the branches encodes the number of mutation events. Three different deletions were identified and its affected LCBs are drawn to the phylogenetic branch where the deletion events may have occurred. Dugway and RSA331 were chosen as representative strains to show the intact adaA gene and adaASNP gene, respectively. A fragment of strain F10 is exposed in the figure to show the inserted repeat variant (adaArep). The figure was drawn using genoPlotR [37]. *Q321 replaces RSA334, which was accidently assigned to the published whole genome data.

Julio 20 de 1978: su madre ha estado bebiendo vino, tanto que ya empieza a notarse el adormecimiento en sus palabras. Así, le dice que lo quiere y le arropa los pies, y antes de apagar la luz le pide perdón, porque el nombre con el que lo han bautizado había sido escogido para un hermano mayor que él, uno que murió en el momento del parto.

"Election" time & nepotism/SuperPacs/BIG OIL/&NUKE Power-weapons-&labs/family members & lobbyists are there with the downpayment on their new 4 year installment of endowments, research grants, political appointments, & other hidden agenda $$$ to use with undisclosed disgression! What more could a parasite, a corporate welfare Queen want than to fork-out a few measly bucks to keep the money pipeline open for bigger & better access/nfluence to THEIR politicians--they are NOT working for you, or to make your country a better place to live or be educated-just ask Dick SaintRectum, who thinks that only SNOBS want their kids to have a college education!!! You need to go to church & pray--that's what you need to do--& don't forget to sit on the Priest's lap, LIKE the candidate did, when he got his epiphany, whn he was 3! He remembers that! I wonder why? Coalminer's daughter?

Manila, PHILIPPINES, 27 August 2008 - A selection of fish and meat dishes served with GMO-free rice at the buffet table during the launch of Greenpeace’s 'GMO-free rice restaurants' campaign. The project, which aims to gather the commitment of restaurants around the country to serve only GMO-free rice, is part of Greenpeace's 'I love my rice GMO-free' campaign, a public movement to keep the country's rice supply free from genetic contamination. The launch was hosted by Fish and Co. restaurant, part of the Bistro Group of Companies, among the first to sign on its popular restaurant outlets, including Italiani's, TGI Friday's and Flapjacks, to the environmental campaign. ©Greenpeace
