WE ALL SHARE
99.6%
OF THE SAME DNA
YET...
WE ARE ALL UNIQUE.
Each person's
continuous sequence
of "life experiences"
combines with a residual
.4% (+/-)
of personal DNA DNA
to create a perfectly
singular individual.
These individuals
form families, clans,
tribes, nations,
and alliances.
Each social grouping
is influenced and guided
by a fusion of individuals
and a combined arc
of these individual
experiences.
"NATURE v. NURTURE"
As technology advances
how will this enduring
scientific conundrum
ultimately affect
our interactions?
Will individuals
and our society
be manipulated
and managed
by some genetic
algorithmic agenda?
Will these agendas
be accessible
and beneficial
to all of us?
Should this phenomenon
be somehow controlled?
By whom?
To what extent?
For what purpose?
PROPHETS OF OUR DNA.
This series
of visual art
"chapters"
aspires
to utilize
both traditional
contemporary
visual media
combine
two visually
distinct bodies
of artwork
into potential
new thoughts
and action.
Intended to examine
a world
of burgeoning
technology
with its often
diverse effects
on personal
and group
relationships,
this exhibition
suggests
potential resolution.
