Artist Statement:
HEK 293T: The Transformation of Johni or Oliver comments on my experiences working with basic genetic engineering techniques during a three month residency at SymbioticA in 2010. In particular, the work explores the transformation of human embryonic kidney cells using green and red fluorescent proteins isolated from marine organisms. The work focuses on the transformation of the cells and the strange conflicts new biotechnologies inspire.
