HOX ZODIAC
29 OCTOBER 2011
MICROWAVE FESTIVAL HONG KONG
The Homeobox (hox) genes essentially
define body regions in all animals
including humans – responsible for
determining two arms, two legs, one nose
and so on. This gene is shared by all
living beings – from flies to whales to
humans – and they can now be manipulated
into deliberate transformations of
existing body parts into others. It is
hypothesized that engineering the Hox
could lead to groundbreaking work in the
fields of limb and organ regeneration.
The goal of the Hox Zodiac project
is to entice the audience with these
fascinating genes that are responsible
for many different variations of legs,
arms and other parts of the body exist
in the animal kingdom. We create an
experiential space that relates the
idea that we are all interconnected and
evolutionarily share the same genes.
