EDUARDO KAC -- BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Eduardo Kac is internationally recognized for his telepresence and bio art. Les artistes dont l'oeuvre implique la transformation directe d'organismes vivants ou la création de nouvelles formes de vie devraient prendre conscience que leurs efforts ne se rapportent plus clairement au domaine bien défini de l'objet mais à celui plus fluide et plus complexe du sujet. (10) See grant proposal submitted to the Daniel Langlois Foundation by Eduardo Kac (January 31, 2000). Quand il conçoit un dispositif technique de réalité virtuelle qui permet d’être une chauve-souris parmi les chauve-souris (Darker than Night, 1999), il propose moins une réfutation savante du philosophe Thomas Nagel (1974) qu’une expérience culturelle des interfaces entre homme et chauve-souris. A pioneer of telecommunications art in the pre-Web '80s, Eduardo Kac emerged in the early '90s with his radical works combining telerobotics and living organisms. See : http://www.ekac.org/telecom.paper.siggrap.html. At the dawn of the twenty-first century Kac opened a new direction for contemporary art with his “transgenic art”–first with a groundbreaking transgenic work entitled Genesis (1999), which included an “artist’s gene” he invented, and then with his fluorescent rabbit called Alba (2000).
