Gene EditingSynthesis
|
For english I wrote a series of journal entries from three different perspectives. Together the entires create a story about gene-editing gone wrong. I scrambled the entires and the order of them so you only get snips of each event at once. The story itself spans a few decades with some large jumps in time. I used synthesis by creating multiple entries and combining them to create a full story.
Civics
For civics I created a declaration of independence for gene-edited people that would be succeeding from the United States. I made the declaration by using different quotes from the Haitian Declaration of Independence, The Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen, The Bill of Rights and The Gettysburg Address.
Art
For art I created a miniature, the room would belong to the conspiracy theorist from the journal entries I wrote. I used a range of materials and techniques in order to create this. The posters and papers on the wall are largely articles and papers about gene editing, in addition to some pictures of scientists who are experimenting with gene editing. I also included some posters of other widely known conspiracies so the viewer can have a better understanding of the persons character. The image of the Vitruvian Man bat wings layered on would be one of this persons conspiracies on gene editing and the possible changes being made to people.
