                           www.gallerythe.org
                         in collaboration with
               Art & Science Collaborations, Inc. (ASCI)
                        are pleased to present:

                             "Dark Science"

      [ASCI Members only or click here for Membership information]
                      curated by Koan-Jeff Baysa.

                           www.gallerythe.org
                   343 Smith Street @ Carroll Street
                           Brooklyn, NY 11231


          The pursuit of science is often equated with the
          search for truth, but what of research that instead
          of elucidating shining truths, reveals dark
          knowledge? Entitled "Dark Science," this
          ASCI-sponsored event looks at what I term the
          "Frankenstein Factor," reflecting the consequences
          of serendipitous events, mistakes and inaccuracies
          encountered along the pathways towards
          enlightenment. Such controversial issues are found
          within a wide range of subjects, from teratology to
          the production of featherless chickens, edible
          tissue cultures, mutations, morphing, and stem cell
          research. The treatment of the subject matter should
          not exclude cyberspace realities, and well, (dark)
          humours.

          (An example would be ASCI member Brandon Ballangee¹s
          ³Malformed Amphibian Series,² based on an
          international biological study of mutated,
          malformed, and disappearing frogs and salamanders.)
