Pattern of Activation (C. elegans)

Pattern of Activation (Mutants)

A group of large sculptures depict various stages of embryonic development of C. elegans worm. It is a model organism commonly used in bio-medical research due to their kinship to human and the "simplicity"of their body structures. They are the first species whose genome was fully sequenced and whose neutral network was fully mapped. Their bodies are often modified so that they light up with fluorescent colours in order to make the test results easier to observe. Their image could be a monument to the contemporary "colonial"expansion that is not geographical (as applied to people and territories) but rather biological: genomes, molecular structures, neuron firings, embryogenesis, and other inner workings of human and nonhuman life. The frontier logic comes with the requirement for extensive mapping, and that means a colossal amount of pattern processing, a lot of it in the form of images of living things.
