Sponsored by the Genetic Engineering and Society Center, the North Carolina State University Libraries, and the Gregg Museum of Art & Design, the exhibition aimed to provoke discussion about the role of genetics in society through contemporary art. It included installations at various locations, such as the Gregg Museum of Art & Design and the North Carolina Museum of Art’s Ann and Jim Goodnight Museum Park, and featured a related interdisciplinary planning symposium and a response symposium. The exhibition encouraged viewers to reconsider their perspectives on the genetic revolution.
