Zoob, Zoology, Ontology, Ontogeny and Botany Michael Joaquin Grey studied art, biology and genetics at UC Berkeley and graduated in 1984. He then got his MFA from Yale's sculpture program and became a well known artist in New York. One of his first exhibits included a highly polished chrome model of Sputnik, the Soviet spacecraft that launched the space race in the 60's. His sculpture and supercomputer-generated artificial life projects were included in two Whitney Biennials. His ongoing interest in biological evolution, form, and kinematics led him to design a set of 5 elemental geometric structures that he calls Zoobs, after their mythological orgins from the primordial Zoop.
