ART MEETS SCIENCE - GENOME
WINDOW DRESSING

(d is for dancing) by Nell Tenhaaf. Tenhaaf’s work addressed the cultural implications of new technologies, and how digital representation links art practice to the bio-sciences and to Artificial Life. She forged connections between the scientific and artistic worlds, both through works critiquing scientific claims and works in which she adopted a scientist persona. In this piece Tenhaaf took footage from St. Louis salsa and jitterbug classes and superimposed an animated strand of DNA to make it appear in the midst of the classes, projecting the final footage in the lab’s windows.

Children of D by Paul Guzzardo and Ben Kiel was constructed as a three-minute "contrived promotion" for an upcoming feature film. D stands for Drosophila.

Drosophila melanogaster - the fruit fly - research and genome sequencing has revolutionized our knowledge about the connections between DNA and human behavior. Children of D was both a spoof on Hollywood blockbuster films and a serious mediation on DNA sequencing and sociobiology.
