The exhibition is open to works based on the theme “Today in Paradise - Genetics & Art” from various fields such as visual arts, architecture, design, music, dance and performance. Artists are invited to interpret the theme in various ways, either trough direct commentary on genetics and biotechnology, or from a sociological/cultural perspective. Liberal interpretations and more abstract approaches to the theme will also be encouraged. Works utilizing genetic algorithms and evolutionary processes are also of interest, and need not be thematically or aesthetically related to the topic.
The exhibition will show work of all kinds of media, for example interactive installations, photography, video, sound and netbased art.
The festival will show work from the fields of music (especially electronic), dance and performance art.
A part of the exhibition will also hold information and visions from ongoing research from biotechnology institutions and companies.
