The aim of this course was to combine and create a fusion of DNA Editing and Film Editing and develop a concept on how to visualize this abstract but actually quite close relation.


'''IDENTITY RE -WIRED'''
by  [[/Ioannis Oriwoll|Ioannis Oriwol]] and  [[/Leon Billerbeckl|Leon Billerbeck]]

The interactive Video Installation of Leon Billerbeck und Ioannis Oriwol focuses on the origin of human identity and its development by genetic factors. Therefore they initiate a transient sitespecific video editing experiment in which they take advantage of the live VJ workflow. In the genesis of their work they combine distinct footage portraying divers mimic expressions with a intuitive approach of digital film editing, i.e. over-layering, dynamic recombination, processual change of rhythm and most importantly the integration of a live camera feed. Billerbeck & Oriwol are breeding up the tree of life by reflecting genetic science from the ancient breeders, Gregor Mendel up to the state of art of synthetic biology, i.e. revolutions in DNA editing by zinkfinger and CRISPR Cas9 technologies.
