 THEORY
/ PERFORMANCE:
In a multimedia lecture the American artist collective Critical
Art Ensemble explains the context of the event.
 THE
CLONING PROJECT I - CAE allowed those who were interested
to take actual screening tests for donor DNA, cytoplasm, and/or
surrogacy. In doing so, the users could find out if they were
considered "fit" or "unfit" for reproduction in a pan capitalist
society. If they were "fit," users were asked to donate DNA
to be stored in cryo-tanks, and received a certificate of fitness.

under the sign of commodification.
 LET'S
MAKE BABY! I - Also available at the event was the electronic
storybook "Let's Make Baby!" - an illustrated guide for children
that explains how science and medicine create life and why.
