HOX ZODIAC DINNER (BETA) Victoria Vesna and Siddarth Ramakrishnan
04 DECEMBER 2014
CNSI ART|SCI GALLERY

Hox Zodiac Dinner is an on-going collaboration between Art|Sci director Victoria Vesna and neuroscientist Siddharth Ramakrishnan. Inspired by the Hox genes which codify body plans across the animal kingdoms, Hox Zodiac offered the audience a seat at the dinner table, enabling conversations on mutations, morphology, and metamorphosis, on humans in relation to animals and the food we eat, on animals feral and laboratory raised. This first-ever iteration of the participatory project aimed to heighten consciousness about our animal bodies, mutations, art, and science.
