Bioartist manipulates flower to contain his own DNA.

I've been keeping track of this guy for a while, and it's so interesting to me that just one year ago this whole medium was practically underground. This is what I hope to inspire/bring to my university!

Disturbing.

But I won't be impressed until someone creates a fireflower and genetically engineered plumber/racoon hybrid.

It is not very profound to make flourescent animals, so the news reporters should get over it. It's been DONE. The whole point of this specific art medium is to continue debate and discourse on biotechnology.

Most of these "news" articles are just spreading the stigma around genetic manipulation. This is why the artist is so important! He's removing the knee-jerk alarmist view and replacing it with meaning!

Someday we could be the most adaptable species in the universe...
