The Art of Mutation
What happens if you insert a gene from a ladybug into a tomato? Fewer insects will feed on the fruit, so it will yield more at a lower cost, but what does that mean for the plant’s appearance? And if you can grow an ear on a mouse, what possibilities does an elephant offer?
Pigs are used as insulin production machines, and genetically modified soybeans no longer raise an eyebrow. If you could see the internal changes on the outside, people might treat them with much more caution.
Most of the artworks on this site showcase the visual possibilities of (internal) mutations. Combinations of plants, animals, and even minerals and rocks, usually created using mixed media.
