'Word Protein', by Eveline Kolijn, Most contemporary art on (human body) bio-engineering is a critical comment on modern research involving genetic manipulation. Word Protein is an example of such comment; it is an artistic investigation of form and pattern in nature, and the dialectic between man and machine. This particular piece is a photograph of a protein that is part of a bacterium chosen by poet Christian Bök to realise the Xenotext Experiment project (see the Editorial).
