MorphoGenesis
Morphogenesis is an evolutionary, visual art work simulating potential glitches in synthetic biology. The series consists of 55 images turning potential errors into aesthetic statements that highlight the unpredictability in engineered life and explores synthetic biology as both a scientific and narrative framework, questioning the boundary between organic and artificial. Glitches disrupt seamless simulation, symbolizing the limits of control and the ever-present vulnerability within biological systems. Produced through unaltered, progressive prompts, these digital evolutions create a speculative landscape that probes synthetic biology’s transformative potential while embracing the unknown—offering a glimpse into the “adjacent possible” of life’s yet-to-be-defined forms.
Jacqueline Heer is a Swiss/American conceptual artist who works across diverse techniques, media and materials to construct immersive mental and physical spaces. Her practice focuses on the relationship between perception and reality, challenging conventional boundaries and inviting viewers to engage in deeper contemplation of their surroundings and their role within them. In recent years she has been integrating technology (as it becomes available) with self made and found objects, painting and performances to create environments that aim to expand the mind, provoking new ways of seeing, thinking, and interacting with the world. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally. In addition to her artistic practice, Jacqueline Heer is the founder and current operator of ping-pong between ART and Knowledge, a project space and residency program in Berlin.
