Therefore, all instincts and normal actions are marginalized, for animals as well as spectator. This studio will engage in three principal investigations of increasing specificity and scale in an effort to affect a re-alignment of borders, territories and habitation for animals and man within the Central Park Zoo, specifically. Photography and various computer software programs will be utilized. The following questions will guide the major operative processes within the studio and provide the conceptual underpinnings for the project as we seek, both on an individual and collective basis, the form and content of three simultaneously pursued investigations resulting in the design of a newly realized zoo. Biology and photography are similar in that both are concerned with relaying information.
Biology is the study of successive changes in genetic information and matter over time.
Biotechnology allows for the investigation and manipulation of genetic material, sometimes resulting in the creation of a new species of animals. Photography is a traditional technique for cataloging information, realized only with the aid of a chemical process. Today that process of organizing information has, to a large degree, been digitized with the resulting images able to be manipulated with the use of sophisticated computer programs, including Photoshop and Illustrator.
