The installation is centered upon a live scientific experiment, the result of which is videotaped and repeated for the duration of the gallery exhibit. Employing a reactive gel and electrical current, "Latent Figure Protocol" produces images that relate directly to the DNA samples used. 2009-06-09T19:04:34Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/5260 Title: Rockefeller New Media Foundation --Supplementary Material Authors: Vanouse, Paul Abstract: Slides 1-2 Item 1-2000, 1996, interactive installation. 600 pound wax block, live performer, Macintosh computer, barcode scanner, 2 monitors, misc. electronics. The work seeks to contextualize work in anatomical imaging, using the Visible Human project as an example, with the social issues of American medicine. Participants interact with the work through a stainless-steel barcode scanner (wielded like a scalpel), slicing horizontally across a wax-embedded performer (laying atop a 600 pound wax block) to reveal the hidden target organ on the room's monitors. Slides 3-4 Paradise Reconfigured, 2000, Interactive installation. Paul Vanouse (described in sample work form) Slides 4-5 Cult of the New Eve, 2000, performance and public intervention. A collaboration between Paul Vanouse, Faith Wilding and the Critical Art Ensemble. The Cult of the New Eve reacts to modem biotechnology as manifested in its promises of salvation by practicing a New Eve Cult aimed to unmask the utopias. In varied performances, an intermeshing of electronic information systems with performative theatre practice, the cult members explore and provoke the discourse of life science.

Not simply images of a sequence of DNA in a gel (like a standard DNA fingerprint), but rather a gel containing DNA sequences specifically chosen to create a recognizable, quasi-photographic representation. For instance, using a 16-lane electrophoresis gel, it is possible to generate an iconic image by treating each lane as a row of pixels analogous to how early computer images were built using ascii characters. Inserting DNA of known sizes into the beginning slot of each lane will allow for a sequence of DNA bands in each lane to migrate at different speeds when voltage is applied, thus creating a 2-dimensional grid of DNA bands resembling a low resolution bitmap image. 2007-01-05T15:21:56Z http://hdl.handle.net/1813/3351 Title: 2004 Rockefeller New Media Foundation Proposal Authors: Vanouse, Paul Abstract: The Active-Stimulation Feedback Platform is about networks and flows, consent and resistance, desire and aversion. It is a global simulation, extruded from the computer onto a physical interactive platform, a circle 16 feet in diameter, densely covered with arcade-style push buttons. Viewer / participants will interact with the simulation by walking, crawling and rolling across these buttons. Their movements trigger and bias playback of audio samples ("yes" or "no") recorded from 2000 people across the globe. 2006-07-26T17:14:17Z
