More about the book
Over two decades, Paul Vanouse's bio-media artwork critically examines the cultural implications of DNA and biotechnology. By engaging with the concept of DNA as a "Truth Machine" and exploring its role in linking and differentiating individuals, the work questions the oversimplification of life through grand metaphors. It also delves into the cultural and political contexts of genetic identification and race. Combining critical theory, artistic manifesto, and scientific history, the book provides a unique perspective on both artistic practice and the complexities of bio-techno-sciences.
