Raising the Dead:
by Means of Art and Science
A Performance at Artists Talk on Art (ATOA)
in collaboration with Dr. Chic Schissel
on October 28, 2010
This article appeared in the NY Science Times in 1985. It claimed DNA from an ancient Egyptian mummy had been "resurrected" by genetic engineers. By that they meant the DNA had been grown in a lab, not that the mummy had been brought back to life. Never-the-less it amazed me that a serious science article was talking about resurrecting mummies, and I began to read about the ancient Egyptian beliefs. |
