Artomatic 2009: Forrest McCluer

Forrest McCluer

A little more explicitly biological than most of the works at Artomatic, Forrest McCluer's six-foot viroid is part of "an ongoing project to deconstruct 30 discarded personal computers and then create sculptures from all their constituent parts."

I'm not even going to start "deconstructing" the layers of meaning in a giant model of a biological virus made out of discarded, outdated computers. . . total bioephemera!

Looks like a bacteriophage! When I was a grad student, my favorite task was plating phage on lawns of bacteria.

This is just around the corner from my daughter's exhibit.

Very cool, pictures don't do it justice. Goodbye, artomatic, until next year.
