Rockman demonstrates the unnerving possible outcomes of
bio-engineering and the chimeras it may create. This is particularly
demonstrative in his painting The
Farm. The
image shows familiar farm animals and how they may look in the future
due to bioengineering.
The
vegetables are bioengineered to grow in certain shapes ideal for
packaging and shipping.
Was
also presented as a new york citing advertising hoarding in a project
called DNAid mounted by the art group Creative Time. I really like
this particular piece, as even though there is a lot going on, it
raises many subjects regarding the change in farming, and how we will
continue to genetically modify plants and animals in the future. Its
influenced by a broad range of pressures to do with human
consumption, aesthetics, domesticated and medical applications.
"My
artworks are information-rich depictions of how our culture perceives
and interacts with plants and animals, and the role culture plays in
influencing the direction of natural history. “
Soccer
The
piece soccer displays the subjects of evolution as well as genetic
modification of humans. Due to our roles in society, such as being a
sportsman, it suggests if we will stretch to the extent of modifying
ourselves to become better at things, or if we will just evolve to
become this. This is suggested by the mans legs being almost horse or
kangaroo like to jump higher, a tail to balance better, a bigger hard
to be able to last longer when moving and webbed hands to be able to
block the ball.
