TRANSFORM
Project description

In the project TRANSFORM, I attempt to combine biomedicine, material science, and somatosensory interaction design to create a parametric physical model of the gene to predict possible trends in genetic change.

Through VI systems, digital illustrations and immersive digital art exhibitions, I present the possibilities of gene editing technology, identity issues arising from experiments, and ethical metaphors to depict the sense of genetic sovereignty within organisms, to imagine the future environment of people living under genetic changes, and to use the artwork to convey reflections and perspectives on genetic engineering.

ILLUSTRATION: The Four Steps of Gene Editing Surgery

INFUSED WITH SYNTHETIC BLOOD:

Process 1: Blood and blood vessels are normal, blue represents the entry of genetic technology elements

 

GENE EDITING:

Process 2: The genetic chain begins to change and technological elements begin to affect the building blocks of DNA

 

IMPLANTATION OF A BRAIN CHIP:

Process 3: The shape of the gene chain begins to become more rigid, the brain and the influence of the chip, the human body begins to behave strangely, and the technological elements of the body begin to expand and change

 

BODY MUTATION:

Process 4: The body begins to mutate, the bones no longer develop towards the normal trend, and the technological elements form a regular framework in the body, indicating that they have been completely integrated with the human body

The four steps of the surgical procedure for gene editing by a 'biohacker' are drawn into illustrations
