Critical Art Ensemble

Now this site is one of the most interesting ones I’ve been to. The section of particular note is the “Cult of Eve”, which satirizes human cloning. The mutilated renaissance artwork at the end of this section is quite humorous.

 

   

Freud will have a field day with this one. This is a sculpture of the standard double-helix form, with no amino acids. It is made of polished metal, and stands stout, and imposingly vertical. This seems to be a representation of what people commonly think of DNA. DNA is often thought of as an immutable, all-powerful structure that dictates the fates of everybody. Through my work, I’d like to poke fun at this idea of genetic determinism, and show that DNA itself contains little inherent power, but its expression in varying contexts does.
