GFP Bunny at 20
My artwork GFP Bunny was deemed polemical at the turn of the millennium. In the twenty years that followed, it has been appropriated by pop culture, transformed and incorporated into novels, television, games, and film. This article revisits this unique phenomenon and sheds light on the rabbit that shook the world
Bioart
Eduardo Kac gained prominence at the beginning of the twenty-first century with his transgenic work “GFP Bunny” (2000), centered on the green-glowing bunny named Alba that he created through genetic engineering. In 1997 Kac coined the term “Bio Art” to designate the new international movement that manipulates or creates biological life as an art medium. His presentation offers an overview of his trajectory, with emphasis on his most recent works.…

Poesia espacial
Media poetry
The first international anthology to document a radically new poetry which takes language beyond the confines of the printed page into a non-linear world of digital interactivity and hyperlinkage. The work of the poets discussed in this book challenges even the innovations of experimental poetics. It embraces new technologies to explore a new syntax made of linear and non-linear animation, hyperlinkage, interactivity, real-time text generation, s…
Holopoesia
O holopoema e o poema concebido, realizado e apresentado holograficamente. Isto implica dizer, a principio, que ele se organiza no espaco tridimensional e, a medida que o leitor o observa, se transforma e da origem a novos significados. Assim, ao ler o poema no espaco, ou seja, ao caminhar ao redor do holograma, o observador modifica constantemente a estrutura do texto. O holopoema nao e um poema em versos transformado em holograma nem um poema c…
