Place
Experimental Art Foundation, Adelaide, SA
Description

Funded by Australia Council of the Arts. Patricia Picinnini used nine monitors in a horse shoe shape, which carried the sound and image of a computer-generated mouse scrabbling around a constraining environment or maze. These monitors accompanied a series of large format ciba-chromes of beautiful female models surrounded by, in proximity to, mice, with human ears growing out of their flanks in a work that looked at new developments in genetic and tissue technology.
