 | This is the sandbox page where you will draft your initial Wikipedia contribution.
If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Works
[edit]1995 to 1997
[edit]Before finding the medium of sculpture, Piccinini experimented with world-building through photography and digital enhancements.The Human Genome Project (1995) , features commercially available designer babies called LUMP (Lifeform with Unevolved Human Properties). Her Protein Lattice (1997) series features nude models posing with digital mutant rats. The two series explored the commercial side of science and brought up the question of ethics.
The Protein Lattice series was inspired by the Vacanti Rat experiment in 1996. The experiment formed a human ear on a rat. The research’s objective was to learn more about grafting, and how humans can regrow body parts.
Ambiguity
[edit]Piccinini never truly states what her personal beliefs are, most of the time opting for ambiguity. She uses her art as a forum for viewers to project their own opinion on and start discussions. In an interview with Dr. Louisa Penfold, Piccinini voiced her discomfort in regard to the idea that art should come from the artist's personal experience.
