RACE CROSSING IN JAMAICA (Paul Vanouse)

Paul Vanouse: RELATIVE VELOCITY INSCRIPTION DEVICE
In 1960, my ("brown") mother emigrated to the US from Jamaica, and met my ("white") father. "Why is my skin color lighter than my sister's?" Recent studies posit that there are several genes responsible for such variance. The installation utilizes DNA samples extracted from the blood of Mother, Father, Sister and Brother (myself). The samples literally race against each other in a genetic separation gel, the winner of each race changes depending upon the particular region of the DNA from which the samples were obtained. My intention is not to actually 'map' the genetic differences, but rather: a. to question the veracity of this or other scientific spectacles; and b. to create a tension in regard to each viewer's relationship to this "genetic horse-race," in terms of their own sense of racial identity.

Gary Schneider: Tumor Suppressor, Gene (MLL) on Chromosome 11 and on the Nucleus, 1997

In 1996, I was approached to make work in response to the Human Genome Project. I decided to marry my obsession with biology and portraiture. My mother had just died of cancer and I wanted to know if I had a genetic predisposition. The Tumor Suppressor Gene on Chromosome 11, the specimen prepared by Dr. Dorothy Warburton, was the first of fourteen images that would become my Genetic Self-Portrait. To provide a counterpoint to the clinical samples, Schneider incorporated a pair of handprints and ear print photographs enlarged from sweat- and heat-imprinted negatives.

CYBERFEMINISM SPECIAL - What Are Words Worth by Josephine Bosma

After Donna Haraway's Manifesto for Cyborgs' "I'd rather be a cyborg then a goddess", the term cyberfeminism was born. 'Rather being a cyborg than a goddess' means shaking off the last remains of possible male sexism which lie hidden within the meaning of the word 'goddess'. Cyberfeminists attack patriarchy within one of its bases of power: the creation of rules for communication and the exchange of information.

SELECTED INTERVIEWS WITH ROBERT SMITHSON: Entropy Made Visible- Interview with Alison Sky (1973) excerpt:

Now, I would like to get into an area of, let's say, the problems of waste. It seems that when one is talking about preserving the environment or conserving energy or recycling one inevitably gets to the question of waste and I would postulate actually that waste and enjoyment are in a sense coupled. There's a certain kind of pleasure principle that comes out of preoccupation with waste. Like if we want a bigger and better car we are going to have bigger and better waster productions. So there's a kind of equation there between the enjoyment of life and waste. Probably the opposite of waste is luxury. Both waste and luxury tend to be useless. Then other's kind of middle class notion of luxury which is often called "quality." And quality is sort of based on taste and sensibility. Sartre says Genet produces neither spit or diamonds. I guess that's what I'm talking about.

ARBORSMITH: Richard Reames
Art and Ecology (UK Arts Council)

A. Laurie Palmer (writings)

Time: A primary goal (along with insisting on the value of doing things that don't make sense in an era of rationalized efficiency) is to create situations with multiple points of access ­ theoretical, social, material, spatial ­ that aim towards negotiation of very different conversations simultaneously. It takes time for indirect and qualitative projects to gather enough critical participation to contribute to their course; it takes time for potential to realize itself through indirection. Unsensational fragments accumulate insistence over time, allowing not just for ³execution² but also for evolution, participation, growing wisdom, changing understandings, shifting participants ­ development, but not along a pre-determined narrative ­ and invention.

Theory that science progresses through the development of successive paradigms, or over-arching models of existing knowledge that periodically supercede previous models. These are summaries of this idea.
