Ophelia Sequenced 2


Ophelia Sequenced 1 and 2 have been developed as part of the BP Art Exchange programme at the Tate Britain, London. BP Art Exchange is a global learning project about international collaboration and exchange and I have been part of it since November 2015.

After getting inspired by Ophelia, by John Everett Millais, one of my favourite artworks from the  Tate Britain Collection, I took a fragment of a metagenome sequence and I composed my first artwork Ophelia Sequenced 1 that was exhibited at the Srishti School of Art, Design and Technology last December 2015.
I did this by cutting the original artwork in strips and creating a system by which I could reassemble the artwork according to the metagenome sequence.

After the first artwork, I decided to make another piece, Ophelia Sequenced 2, using the same system but another fragment of a metagenome sequence; the objective was to see how the artworks differed from each other.

Binding Art and Science, a Journey through Drug Design

From left to right: Neus Torres Tamarit,  Dr Christelle Soudy, Bea Haynes, and Ben Murray Binding Art and Science is a workshop developed in collaboration with Dr Christelle Soudy (Francis Crick Institute), artist Bea Haynes, data scientist Ben Murray, and myself (Ben and I as Phenotypica). The workshop responds to Soudy's research in drug design for cancer research.  The objective of the workshop was to use Soudy's lab equipment to do the research, as a metaphor for the designed drug, and the public would have to construct the tumor cell around it. To make the tumor cell, we took the sequence of aminoacids of a real cancerous cell, that Soudy has already worked with, printed it onto paper and cut into sequences.  The real aminoacids are similar in shape, so we made five groups that were representative of those, we assigned them geometrical shapes, and we cut on the CNC pieces of foam with those shapes. In the workshop, people took a sequence prin

M'ha fet gràcia una frase que m'han dit avuí: "también tiene derecho a equivocarse". L'error és la mala conseqüència d'un dret, no un dret en sí mateixa. D'aquesta manera no es pot confiar amb ningú. Si ningú és responsable, la responsabilitat individual queda anulada. No és mal sentir-se culpable, al contrari, i ú ha d'assumir que és responsable dels seus actes i fer-se'n càrrec.
