Platform Software platform or means of display e.g Installation / YouTube / HTML / Flash / Twitter / QuickTime Flash Work URL The URL of the original work, included as an HTML link. <a href="http://www.heliozoa.com/gene/bomargene.htm">http://www.heliozoa.com/gene/bomargene.htm</a> Artist Statement A statement about the work, as provided by the artist(s). Within every human there is a singular gene, unique only to that individual. And with that gene comes a singular ability, a rare, mostly never realized capacity for interacting with the world. The Bomar Gene explores this mythical gene, through a series of ficto-biographies, with each story being retranslated and spatialized through interactive interfaces and embodied animations. Each section opens up to such questions as: How are we defined by our genetic code? What does it mean to be an individual, to be unique? What are the implications of a society obsessed with rare abilities and super-powers?
