EDUARDO KAC. „Shining LAGOGLYPHS”

07/03/2024

In 2000, with the use of genetic engineering techniques, Eduardo Kac created the artwork GFP Bunny, through which Alba, the rabbit, began her life when a fluorescent gene from a jellyfish was implanted into a rabbit egg. The albino rabbit with pink eyes glowed fluorescently green in the corresponding blue light. With Alba, the "Lagoglyph" series was born — a "rabbitographic" form of communication. For his solo show at the Academic Design Center in Lodz, Kac will premiere a new set of Lagoglyph Lux sculptures as well as the fifth in his Lagoogleglyph series of works conceived to be seen via satellite.
