Title

sAIcred Heart: Biotechnology’s Devotion to AI

Creator

Horiachkina, Nikol

Abstract

The creative project explores such concepts of the course as Bioart and the beginning of the networked body as shown in the last part of the documentary ‘All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace’ by Adam Curtis which implies a commentary on how humanity strives to find answers in math and technology. I used one of the Mitchel’s definitions in which bioart is also an art that does not use biotechnology as a medium but as work that generates a critical debate over biotechnology. My project is dedicated to the topic of AI and biotechnology currently attempting to reshape and re-engineer lives with the current AI technology having a near-religious status of changing the concept of human. The creative output is a Ukrainian traditional outfit’s accessory called ladunka with hand-embroidered reimagined sacred heart, flowers, sword and DNA sequence.
