Up until now, we have been confronted
with the creation of a machine-based environment outside ourselves.
Now we are faced with the info-based environment inside ourselves,
with the creation of a self, interfacing our own inner-world with
the outer, with the creation of a cybernetic organism. (to quote Donna
Haraway: with a cyborg.) This is the search of the eternal 'meta-individual,'
which the eremites in the desert of Syria, the monks in Christian
monasteries were striving for, it has been the struggle for a one-ness
combined with the whole-ness. socially alone, mentally united, technologically
omnipresent. this is the fresh new field of dialectic action for a
true information-based art. I will present "datawork:man"-a science-art
project in the realm of the genomic revolution- the new arising interrelationship
between science and art, technology and information on the basis of
the fundamental biogenetic constituents in the biosphere, the DNA.
