	Eduardo Kac - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eduardo Kac was the first person to have a microchip implanted in his body.
		In what is probably his most famous work, GFP Bunny, Kac collaborated with a French laboratory to procure a green-fluorescent rabbit; a rabbit implanted with a GFP (Green Fluorescent Protein) gene from a type of jellyfish.
		Kac, in response to the lab's retraction of Alba's liberty, flies a flag outside of his home, sporting a shillouette of a green rabbit.

	The Ethics of Knowledge: the Transgenic Works of Eduardo Kac
		Eduardo Kac’s work “The Eighth Day” is a call for the creation of a participatory art, one which is collective in nature--a cooperative action of many to one, rather than one to many; a telematic art, embracing telecommunications technology.
		The importance of Eduardo Kac’s work with transgenic art is that, like any proponents of the avant-garde, citing the likes of Marcel Duchamp who “created” in 1917 the ready-made “Fountain” (urinal), and called it “Art”, he puts into question notions of “artistic practise“ and “authorship”.
		Eduardo Kac’s work “The Eighth Day” does just this; it expands our awareness of the technology + issues surrounding “transgenics”; the study + practise of genetic modification (or GM, as it is commonly referred to).

	[No title]
		Eduardo Kac's experiments with hypertext poetry utilize language both as the material for, and as the subject matter of, his art.
		I maintain that these works, to use Kac's words, are "not metaphoric, but in a way that is actual and literal, actively involving perception and cognition together." Kac aspires to create a realm of "in-between", of "transition" between words within time and space, through the experience of his poetry.
		Eduardo Kac's creation of poetry within a third dimension mimics the allure of the Surrealist 'elsewhere' and the aspiration to reveal that which has been previously hidden from view.

	Wired 9.04: I Love My Glow Bunny
		Kac (pronounced Katz) was going to create a small living room in one corner of the show and demonstrate what it would be like to have a green-glowing rabbit as a pet.
		Kac says sure, and stands to one side, explaining where he's from and what he's doing, and that this is the transgenic rabbit he created and wants to take home.
		Kac said there was no question that he had proposed such a project as early as 1998, and that Bec had told him it was on course in 1999.

		Eduardo Kac invented the concept and the word "holopoetry" in 1983, around which he developed a groundbreaking body of work.
		Kac's holographic poetry, with which he pioneered the use of computers in holographic art, has been shown in several countries and has, in recent years, gained increased attention.
		Working in the intersection of literature and visual arts, Kac investigates the verbal material in a constant state of flux, engaging the participants in a dialog that is continuously generating new meanings.

	Tracking Chimeras: The Eighth Day of Eduardo Kac
		In a panel discussion focusing on the work of Kac and the ethical dimensions of transgenics, biologist Alan Rawls reaffirmed the scientific benefits of GFP indicating that animals studied in this way would not have to be sacrificed in order to perceive changes in physiology.
		Kac has, in essence, cloned the transgenic process itself and inserted it into an art context.
		As a transgenic artist, Kac is not interested in the creation of genetic objects per se, but in the invention of transgenic social subjects.

	Eduardo Kac (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		In the early '80s Eduardo Kac pioneered "Holopoetry", a new kind of poetry that employs the unique possibilities of the holography medium and that anticipated many of the concerns later expressed by hypertext.
		Kac has continued to chart new territory with his explorations in digital poetry, and more recently with his use of living organisms as a medium for writing and reading, as exemplified by his groundbreaking transgenic work entitled "Genesis".
		In "Genesis", Kac explores the notion that biological processes are now programmable, as well as capable of storing and processing data in ways not unlike digital computers.

	Festival 2001
		Eduardo Kac - a Ph.D. research fellow at the Centre for Advanced Inquiry in Interactive Arts (CAiiA) at the University of Wales, Newport/United Kingdom and Assistant Professor of Art and Technology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago - is an artist who investigates the philosophical and political dimensions of communications processes.
		Kac took a quote from the book of Genesis (hence the name): 'Let man have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.' This line was then translated into Morse Code, which was then translated into DNA base pairs.
		Kac himself previously had stated in the Ars Electronica Festival magazine, that 'since the early 1960s we have been discussing the social impact of computer technology and since the early 1980s we have been living the digital revolution.

		EDUARDO KAC: Well, no. The one thing is to try to prevent the decay and deterioration of an object, the other is to help a living being to grow and to develop into maturity in a manner that is healthy and fosters a relationship.
		EDUARDO KAC: It raises the awareness of the dangers of such a scenario, yes, and that's part of the issue.
		Kac is certainly one of the important artists of the late 20th, simply for all his experiences with telematics.

	Rabbit Gene-Spliced With Jellyfish Glows In The Dark
		Kac is an assistant professor of art and technology at the School of Art Institute of Chicago.
		Kac intended Alba's birth in February to spark a debate about the project itself, and about the practice of manipulating genes in animals for research.
		Kac says the entire project, which he has dubbed "GFP Bunny (for green fluorescent protein bunny) is designed to combine biotechnology, private family life and the social domain of public opinion into a single furry symbol.

	Crossings - Volume 2, Issue 1 - Causey
		Secondly, it is to begin an inquiry into the philosophical and ethical issues that Eduardo Kac's art raises, namely, the elimination of the borders between art and life, virtual and embodied spectatorship, aesthetic genetic-engineering, the ethics of robotics and the responsibilities of the artist to the art of monsters and machines.
		Although Eduardo Kac's transgenic art is establishing new frontiers of art practice that challenge the boundaries of biology, robotics and aesthetics, the manner in which the artworks generate meaning and construct spectatorship are similar to the practices of much conceptual and installation art of the twentieth century.
		Eduardo Kac's transgenic art carries with it the remembrance and the results of the temporary disappearance of the art object into concept and the performance of that loss in installation.

		Kac is wise to stress that the bunny will be loved, and will return to Chicago to be doted on by his wife and his child.
		Kac shrewdly shows Alba as an artwork in an environment "designed to maximize her comfort." By taking these steps, the most obvious criticisms can be deflected.
		Kac's initial investigations involved the possible creation of a dog, and in these explorations he referenced the history of dog breeding and argued that genetic manipulation was no more intrusive than these other methods of determining the characteristics of an animal before its birth.

		Eduardo Kac has been experimenting in visual poetries since the early 1980s.
		Kac's claim on this name also has to do with a freeing of the text from perspective, but in fact, this type of viewing emphasizes perspective, and a reassurance of the reader's place as a mass, within a body.
