GFP is a bioluminescent molecule naturally produced by the glowing Pacific Northwest jellyfish Aequorea victoria. In the early 1990s scientists began using the protein produced by the GFP gene as a fluorescent reporter molecule for the visualization of intracellular processes in nearly every laboratory organism, including yeast, bacteria, fruit flies, frogs, zebrafish and more. In order to view GFP-tagged protein molecules in organisms, researchers employ a diverse range of technologies, including confocal microscopes coupled with sophisticated digital imaging and modeling systems. In doing so, scientists have engineered these new transgenic organisms as digital media objects right down to the molecular level. Transgenic Light sought to map this rapidly advancing zone of mediation opened up by GFP - a realm that connects several converging strata, including the discursive and the phenomenal, the semiotic and the material, the digital and the organismal, the natural and the artificial, and the scientific and the aesthetic. The installation was on display from 12 June-25 August 2002 at Stanford University's Cantor Center for the Visual Arts Bang the Machine: Computer Gaming Art and Artifacts An exhibition designed in collaboration with Henry Lowood from the Stanford Humanities Laboratory How They Got Game project, and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Visual Arts Curator, Rene DeGuzman, at the San Francisco Yerba Buena Center for the Arts from January 17 through April 4, 2004. The exhibition explored the history and influence of computer game culture and the relationship between interactive computer games and a wide variety of subject areas, from the relationship between computer games and military simulations to contemporary features and cross-fertilization with artistic endeavors. The primary exhibition, entitled Game Scenes, featured an installation on the Institute for Defense Analyses simulation, the Battle of 73 Easting, and the US Army's computer game, America's Army, developed by the MOVES Institute of the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. The exhibition was produced in partnership with the How They Got Game Project of the Stanford Humanities Laboratory, which concurrently presented the exhibit, Fictional Worlds, Virtual Experiences: Storytelling and Computer Games, at the Cantor Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University.
