Ars Bio Project

Note! This page is from 2002 but it tells how we first we doing things - we will update this site soon, with events from 2003 - 2018, when there were several different, related projects and exhibits, thereafter, in USA, Germany, Spain, Ukraine and Russia!

RECENT NOTES, June 2002

Early Draft Ideas, January, 2002

NOTE: All DATES are moving forward as this proiject is now being designed to be part of the IDEAS Encyclopedia Project. We are looking at 2004, not 2002/2003. We are composing an exhibit of paintings, prints, photographs, masks, and natural flora and fauna collections on the theme of Diversity and Synergy. Our intention is to establish both a one-time physical exhibit and also a permanent online web-based exhibit.

The multimedia, multi-genre physical exhibit will take place in one of the major art galleries in San Jose, Costa Rica and will constitute approximately 600 m2 of publicly-accessible viewing space. The online gallery of photographs, video, audio, and flash graphics is estimated to constitute approximately 24 gigabytes of media.

The collections being assembled for the physical exhibit are, not surprisingly, originating from many diverse sources and locations, principally from private collections in Costa Rica, the United States, and Europe. These will include:

Aboriginal and primitive art from around the around
Photographs and reproductions of paleolithic art

Arrangements of insects and flowers

Photographs and graphic arts of microorganisms and anatomy

Photographs and graphic arts of organic themes from mathematics and technology

Masks and religious artifacts

Abstract and modern paintings reflecting themes of diversity, ecobalance, synergy, and symbiosis

Human, animal, and plant photography and multimedia

Computer-based video, simulation, and graphics

At the present time (mid-January.2002) the Ars Bio Group is in an organizational stage and is developing relationships with prospective collection lenders and donors as well as with a sponsor gallery and financial sponsors (corporate, government, and individual). Target dates are as follows:
April 1, 2002: Finalization of exhibit master document including listing and images or media clips of major exhibit elements.
