Genetec is an articulated sculpture/installation which responds to unique user input data. Using specialised materials and display technologies that have been adapted to create this work. The work is an articulating DNA structure, a genetic sculpture. The key to the future is the enhancement of the real space as an intelligent responsive environment.

Imagine creating a building whose construction is based on your genetic identity. A space where the invisible manifests in 3D form. Genetic information will provide the basis for this organic system, a responsive data - networked real environment. The architecture of the system is responsive to your dna it is responsive to you , you become embedded in the DATA flow itself; you will be the system. The user, as DNA, becomes the image, the system , the sculpture, the space. The user is the interface to him/herself.

Using DNA data as input data to the unique responsive environment. This information is translated into 3 d emergent systems thereby creating a personalised dna large scale sculpture. The purpose is to understand how personalised data can be mediated and affect the environment around us. Using my own DNA data and 3d visual mappings, these are presented as a generative emergent sequence. Small scale rapid prototypes of these as fixed models evoke the work and are used as a basis to develop an articulated work using responsive materials.
