Event #3

Immediately, I connected this piece with the concepts of class, particularly the biotech portion where we learned about artists that utilized living organisms as inspirations to add to their work. Not only does the concept bridge the science and art gaps, it adds texture and layers to art just like Shiota's Hammer Project.

The work uses moving image with a three channel vi
