CTHEORY Multimedia is an active collaboration of artists, programmers,
and theorists who navigate the codes and anti-codes of digital organs
in virtual space. Annual editions of net art, digital architectonics and
conceptual multimedia, address and reflect on global themes of critical
imperative to the digital age.
In collaboration with the Cornell University Library Electronic Publishing
Program, published work is archived on the CTHEORY Multimedia site for
future consultation and interface.
CTHEORY Multimedia is curated by Arthur & Marilouise Kroker, editors
of CTHEORY, and Timothy Murray, curator of The Rose Goldsen Archive of
New Media Art, Cornell Library.
The Promise and Perils of the Human Genome Project
Tech Flesh is the digital screen of the artistic ramifications of paradigms
of cloning, transgenic humans, disabled embryos, digital sequencing and
nanotechnology. This is the tactic of multimedia cDNA as a distributed
informatic critique.
The issue includes some 15 works of net art addressing
the broad question of genomics, organized into three gene pool galleries:
Transgenic Flesh; Sequential Tracings; Recombinant Cells.
