The exhibition explores concepts of evolution, developmental biology and the complexity of our shared genetic heritage with other life forms. Cutting edge 3-D synchrotron radiation imaging techniques were used to create interactive representations of zebrafish, tiny and robust model organisms used in genetic medical research due to homologous evolutionary traits to humans.
The first of its kind, this research project sets new precedents as the first historical instance in Canada of an artist being granted synchrotron beam time at the Canadian Light Source with artistic inquiry and aesthetic experimentation as the primary objective.
Dans la Mesure /Within Measure was made possible through the generous support of the Canada Council for the Arts.
