[Allison Berglas]

Please join us on Thursday, June 20, 2002, from 6:30-8:00.pm GenTerra, a
project by Critical Art Ensemble and Beatriz da Costa GenTerra is a
performance by Critical Art Ensemble and Carnegie Mellon University Robotic
Art Researcher Beatriz da Costa. Posing as a company dealing with
transgenics - the isolation of one or more genes from one or more organisms
to create another, new organism - GenTerra highlights the complex
relationship between for-profit ventures and the ethical considerations
involved in transgenics research and product development. GenTerra is a
participatory "theater" made up of a lab tent, four computer station
displaying the company's CD-Rom, and a "bacteria release machine." First
floor gallery, free with Museum admission. The performance is part of the
ongoing exhibition Open_Source_Art_Hack, on view through June 30, 2002. For
