Eduardo Kac is an artist and writer who investigates
the philosophical and political dimensions of communications processes.
In his work Kac deals with issues that range from the mythopoetics of
online experience (Uirapuru) to the cultural impact of biotechnology
(Genesis); from the changing condition of memory in the digital age
(Time Capsule) to distributed collective agency (Teleporting an Unknown
State); from the problematic notion of the "exotic" (Rara Avis) to the
creation of life and evolution (GFP K-9).
