" (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana;" href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=%22Lygia+Clark%22&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search"&gt;Lygia Clark&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Visitando a exposição de &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anish_Kapoor"&gt;Anish Kapoor&lt;/a&gt; no CCBB / Rio, e porque esse artista trabalha com o côncavo, o convexo e ilusões de ótica, lembrei-me desse texto de Lygia Clark e pensei sobre o sexo do ciborg. Inspirada na obra de Kapoor, criei essa imagem acima: dois seios femininos. Esses seios estão "linkados" com o seu "&lt;a href="http://arteonline.arq.br/cyborg/kapoor.html"&gt;útero/matrix&lt;/a&gt;". Completando a cena, a foto de uma escultura presente numa das ruazinhas atrás do CCBB. Minha intenção ao relacionar essas imagens/textos foi modelar o talvez ambivalente sexo da Grande Mãe Terra Ciborg e mostrar o meu processo de trabalho.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*****************************************&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:ARIAL;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:ARIAL;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;div&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;span style=";font-family:Verdana;font-size:100%;"  &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;"While opening a basket I felt that the external form only is there in absolute relation to that empty - "full emptiness" embracing the existential sense, giving me the immediate conscience of my femininity, feeling the vaginal emptiness as expressive, intern in opposition to the external form - the contrary of the penis that the woman brings inside herself and for the first time I asked myself if the problem of Art and Life would not be the same." (&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=%22Lygia+Clark%22&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search"&gt;Lygia Clark&lt;/a&gt;, English version Regina Pinto)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Visiting the exhibition of &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anish_Kapoor"&gt;Anish Kapoor&lt;/a&gt; (CCBB, Rio), and because he works with concave, convex and optic illusions, I reminded the text above by Lygia Clark and thought about the cyborg sex. Inspired by the exhibiton I created this image: a kind of breaths. These breasts are linked to the cyborg's "&lt;a href="http://arteonline.arq.br/cyborg/kapoor.html"&gt;uterus/matrix&lt;/a&gt;". Completing the scene, the photo of a sculpture, which can be found on the small street behind CCBB. With these images, I am modelling the perhaps ambivalent sex/matrix of the Great Earth Mother Cyborg and trying to show the way I work.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;&lt;font&gt;

B., o primeiro a notar os estranhos signos na cabeça do fêmur da artista multimídia neozelandesa HVJ. Sendo assim, a peça foi imediatamente levada para o CEPAL (Centro de Pesquisas Antropológicas e Lingüísticas) situado na cidade principal da Ilha de &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Verdana;" lang="EN-US"&gt;Aotearoa&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;. Para esse centro de pesquisas dirigiram-se imediatamente os mais renomados antropólogos e especialistas em lingüística e códigos do mundo inteiro, na verdade estava-se diante de um acontecimento inédito no mundo da Ciência. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt; &lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Durante meses a fio aqueles especialistas dedicaram-se a estudar aquela cabeça de fêmur sem que nada fosse descoberto.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Enquanto isso a artista multimídia HVJ acostumava-se a caminhar com sua nova cabeça de fêmur, um implante de tantalum &lt;sup&gt;1&lt;/sup&gt;, e espantava-se com a súbita notoriedade de sua antiga peça óssea pois a cada dia surgiam as mais estapafúrdias notícias nos jornais, mas nenhum passo adiante era dado, o código (?) continuava indecifrável. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Para tentar resolver aquele impasse foram chamados os autores da Orelha Extra Escala ¼. Esse projeto do TC&amp;A e do artista australiano Stelarc havia constatado que tecido vivo pode crescer e sustentar-se fora do corpo. A Orelha Extra Escala ¼ é uma &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;forma de vida parcial – em parte construída e em parte autônoma, esperando para se tornar uma prótese suave. Os mesmos métodos usados na criação da orelha foram aplicados à cabeça de fêmur e, para espanto das gentes, ela começou a desenvolver-se e a ganhar vida. Com isso, o código (?) ganhou mais caracteres e um pouco mais de visibilidade.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Seria uma bio-poesia? Alguém lembrou-se então de &lt;i style=""&gt;Gênesis&lt;/i&gt; um trabalho transgênico do conhecido e admirável poeta, artista e pensador brasileiro Eduardo Kac.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;“&lt;i style=""&gt;Genesis is a transgenic artwork&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; that explores the intricate relationship between biology, belief systems, information technology, dialogical interaction, ethics, and the Internet. The key element of the work is an "artist's gene", a synthetic gene that was created by Kac by translating a sentence from the biblical book of Genesis into Morse Code, and converting the Morse Code into DNA base pairs according to a conversion principle specially developed by the artist for this work. The sentence reads: "Let man have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." It was chosen for what it implies about the dubious notion--divinely sanctioned--of humanity's supremacy over nature.”&lt;/i&gt; &lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Cogitou-se então de analisar o DNA da peça em estudo. O resultado da pesquisa foi assombroso. Ele era de um tipo completamente desconhecido. E, mais assombroso ainda foi que depois de algum tempo começaram a aparecer no osso imagens que se movimentavam viva e dramaticamente, sugerindo a devastação e destruição pela qual vem passando o Planeta Terra:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;“Deixar o homem dominar o peixe do mar, as aves no ar e toda coisa viva que se move na Terra”?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Chamado a opinar, um antigo habitante da ilha, um sábio Maori, vendo toda aquela magia em movimento, intuiu relações entre o que se passava e o antigo mito de “papatuanuku”, a Grande Mãe Terra. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Decidiu-se então convocar um grupo de artistas, todos eles pesquisando Arte e Biologia em suas obras. Observando as cenas do que passaram a chamar de Cine Femura, comparando-as com a situação de perpétuo desastre ecológico em que vive o nosso planeta e estudando profundamente a mitologia Maori, eles decidiram que trabalhariam colaborativamente na criação de uma Grande Mãe Terra Cyborg ou Papatuanuku Cyborg como passaram a chamá-la carinhosamente. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Apesar desses artistas estarem recebendo apoio e patrocínio do “Fundo Para a Preservação da Terra” e o auxílio dos mais sábios e interessados especialistas em biologia, genética e DNA, o projeto caminha vagarosamente porque tudo é muito novo e objeto de profunda pesquisa. Seriedade e Ética são requisitos fundamentais aos membros da equipe.&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;Um primeiro protótipo, construído com o mesmo DNA da cabeça de Fêmur já está sendo experimentado. Nele foram colocados chips que contêm todo o respeito das culturas menos complexas pela Natureza. Quem sabe, não estará aí o primeiro estágio do futuro da Terra? &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Completamente adaptada ao tantalum, a artista neozelandeza HVJ, participa ativamente da pesquisa. É através dela e de suas performances “on line” que as informações sobre o projeto circulam pelas universidades da ilha e do resto do mundo. Nessas performances fica evidente todo o seu carinho pelo nosso planeta azul.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Notas:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; “Tantalum (formerly tantalium) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ta and atomic numbe&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;r 73.

O projeto representa uma parte humana reconhecível. Porém, está sendo apresentado como uma vida parcial e questiona as noções da inteireza do corpo. Também confronta percepções culturais mais amplas de 'vida como dádiva" e nossa habilidade crescente de manipular sistemas vivos. TC&amp;A estão lidando com os assuntos éticos e perceptivos originando-se da constatação que tecido vivo pode ser sustentado e pode crescer e funcionar fora do corpo.

As a result, this item was immediately taken to the CALS (Center for Anthropological and Linguistic Studies) in the main city on the Island of Aotearoa. The world’s foremost anthropologists and experts in linguistics and codes flocked to that important research center to witness an unheard-of event in the world of Science.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;For months on end, these specialists devoted themselves to the study of that femur stem without making any discoveries. Meanwhile, multimedia artist HVJ got used to walking with her new tantalum&lt;sup&gt;1 &lt;/sup&gt;hip implant, and was amazed at the sudden fame gained by that former part of her bone structure. Every day, the wildest claims appeared in the newspapers, but the scientists were stymied. The code (?) was still unbroken.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;In an attempt to overcome this problem, the creators of the Extra ¼-Scale Ear were called in. This project by TC&amp;A and Australian artist Stelarc had found that living tissue can grow and sustain itself outside the body. The Extra ¼-Scale Ear is a partial life form – partly constructed and partly autonomous, awaiting the opportunity to become a gentle prosthesis. Therefore, the same methods used to create the ear were employed on the femur stem, and to everyone’s amazement, it began to develop and gain a life of its own. As a result, the code (?) gained more characters and a bit more clarity.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Could it be a bio-poem? Then someone recalled &lt;i&gt;Genesis,&lt;/i&gt; a transgenic work by the well-known and amazing Brazilian poet, multimedia artist and thinker Eduardo Kac (&lt;a href="http://www.ekac.org/"&gt;http://www.ekac.org/&lt;/a&gt;):&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 56.25pt 0.0001pt 27pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;“&lt;i&gt;Genesis is a transgenic artwork&lt;sup&gt;3&lt;/sup&gt; that explores the intricate relationship between biology, belief systems, information technology, dialogical interaction, ethics, and the Internet. The key element of the work is an "artist's gene", a synthetic gene that was created by Kac by translating a sentence from the biblical book of Genesis into Morse Code, and converting the Morse Code into DNA base pairs according to a conversion principle specially developed by the artist for this work. The sentence reads: "Let man have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moves upon the earth." It was chosen for what it implies about the dubious notion--divinely sanctioned--of humanity's supremacy over nature.”&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=""&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;The next idea was to analyze the DNA of the item in question. The results of this study were astonishing. It was a completely unknown type. Even more astonishing was the fact that, after some time, images began to appear on the bone and move in a lively and dramatic fashion, suggesting the devastation and destruction underway on Planet Earth:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;“Let man rule the fish in the sea, the birds in the air and all the beasts which creep on the Earth”?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 56.25pt 0.0001pt 27pt; line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;“Maori religion is closely related to nature and to the ancestors, and all things are conceived of as possessing a life force or mauri, since all living things are connected by a common descent through whakapapa or genealogy.

The third series of myths deals with the life of Tawhaki, the model of an aristocratic and heroic figure. .... The central characters in the myths are gods, their progeny and their human descendants.

After observing the scenes showing on what they began to call the Femur Cinema, comparing them with the state of perpetual ecological disaster reigning on our planet and engaging in a profound study of Maori mythology, they decided to engage in a collaborative effort to create a Great Earth Mother Cyborg or, as they affectionately call her, Papatuanuku Cyborg. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Although these artists are supported and sponsored by the “Planet Earth Preservation Fund” and aided by the wisest and most committed specialists in Biology, Genetics and DNA, the project is moving ahead slowly because everything involved is new and the subject of in-depth study. Responsibility and Ethics are key requirements for all the research team’s members. The first prototype, made from the same DNA as the femur stem, is already being tested. It contains chips that store all the respect for Nature of the less-complex cultures. Could this be the first stage of the planet’s future?&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Now fully accustomed to her tantalum hip implant, Kiwi artist HVJ is playing an active part in the study. It is through her and her “on-line” performances that information on the project is being shared with universities on the island and the rest of the world. These performances clearly demonstrate all her love for our blue planet.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%;"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;Notes:&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt; &lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 36pt;"&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt;1&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;&lt;span  lang="EN-US" style="font-family:Verdana;"&gt; &lt;i&gt;“Tantalum (formerly tantalium) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ta and atomic number 73.
