"The extravagant world of colors of the inside of the body that unfolds right before my eyes when I look at the screen, exists only in cyberspace. What happens when I simulate this kind of reality and display it in the physical world? "

In a show of yours years ago, you had approached computer science, memory, oblivion, mental processes. You came close to biology through the machine. I love that: I think rage against the machine is a health hazard.

The new kind of fluid time suggested by the web relieves me. The idea of the contemporary transcendental being which can exist as a knot between floating moments is exciting to me as well as the idea of the continuous flux and interaction of identities. One can experience many qualities and layers of the same idea and this makes living much more substantial.

Approaching biology through the machine is an intriguing way to comment on mankind by art making. I watch with great interest the work of artists inspired by genetics and biology. It seems to me that to a great extent they are so overwhelmed by the achievements of science and they use it with too much reverence, not leaving enough room for personal input. I believe that art and science should by no means ignore each other but that they should also retain their autonomy. In this sense I do not see how either art or science can be enriched by activities such as the production of fluorescent rabbits in an artist�s lab and so forth. These efforts seem futile as they suggest that art is quite useless; that�s not true in the era of communication.

One would assume that you are a computer wizard or a techno-freak. But you�re far from that.

The web is an extension of our nervous system to the outside world. Last year I dealt with the interplay of body and mind, the communication in the world of neural networks. In my recent installation "Data Base and I Suspended" I worked on the idea of the dissection of my body into tiny particles, of the anatomy based on modern technology. The extravagant world of colors of the inside of the body that unfolds right before my eyes when I look at the screen, exists only in cyberspace. What happens when I simulate this kind of reality and display it in the physical world? It becomes a fact and I react to it. I am there, presented as a huge field of cells in the process of multiplication, or as an endless coexistence of neurons in the process of shooting information to each other, or as an interplay of what is there -my primeval soup, so to speak- and what can be done with it.

We live in a miraculous world where Nature has been definitely surpassed. In the past people identified Nature with the idea of perfection. However, it's just unfinished business: nature is imperfect and needs some serious repair work. Only religious people believe that Nature is the result of an infallible creation process.

Making artwork is a process that makes you deal with this issue right away because you are invited to propose all kinds of modifications to the existing world. You are also summoned to observe closely, predict and foretell. So, nature, as we know it, is not there any more. What is really there is one's dynamic relationship to it. It is up to the wise ones to make good use of this potential.
