«Redeeming the Gene, Molding the Golem, Folding the Protein»

"Redeeming the Gene, Molding the Golem, Folding the Protein," is a mythic parody designed for WEB.viewing. It challenges current genetic engineering techniques by the creation of an artificial anthropoid, the golem, according to the ancient Hebraic ritual of Kabbalah.
Lilith and Eve, maligned source of female evil for many years reinvent themselves by creating an ethical gene with which they mold the golem. The kabbalah gene, displaces the artist's gene that Eduardo Kac invented in his artwork, "Genesis." - Sonya Rapoport
