About This Project

Information – the idol of the current generation. Its absolute status is shown in expert scientific circles, where it helps to find answers to the questions forcing mankind from ancient times. Who we are, from where we come from, where we are going?
DNA is a source code of human existence. Modernistic understanding of information hegemony has shown that if we are able to decipher the entire human genome, we will know the essence of life. Postmodern experience showed us the opposite. The body is established only from information without which one would not be the human. At the same time, if the one is created only from information, maybe the right content is missing.
3D scan of the human figure is completed by rewritten human genome (3,000,000 characters of nucleotides ACTG). The same software as for the work “In the beginning….” was used for rewriting ACTG characters.

Energy affects physical work performance and information as its abstract antipole affects intellectual work. The whole concept of the work is based on an intellectual game with the information. Its significance, history, mystique. It allows us to handle the information as a toy, construction kit. This modifies its primary, informative meaning. Software rewrites 2D text to 3D object via a simple algorithm, which assigns one vector to every alphabetic character in the space. Object in the picture is the transcript of the biblical text In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John 1.1; it is printed using 3D printer.
