it's a sign of the times... events for art that deals with biology are happening more and more. in austrailia, there is the upcoming Art of the Biotech Era exhibition as part of the big Adelaide Festival. also in austrailia is the BEAP festival, with sub-events entitled "Bio-Differences; Born and Bred" and "Perceptual-Differences; Vision systems". yet another one in austrailia is previously mentioned TRANSFIGURE, an exhibition about perception, body, space & landscape. the Exploratorium in sf (one of my favorite places) is holding a symposium entitled Animate (in)Animate "exploring how new technologies are blurring the boundaries between the natural and the artificial". gigantic artspace in nyc just opened their show Gen.R.8 exploring generative processes. in boston, the previously mentioned eVolution exhibition addresses "artificial life" and autonomous, behavior-driven systems. and finally, the touring show Gene(sis): Contemporary Art Explores Human Genomics is now in minneapolis.
