Parragraph about artist - Piccinini

During the 1990s technology and biology seemed to become ever more tightly entwined. Many artists reponded, and continue to respond, to this nexus of the born and the made. Patricia Piccinini's 1997 Protein Lattice series used the ear-mouse to reflect on humanity, materiality and ethics in the face of modern science. In the artwork by Patricia Piccinini entitled "Protein lattice" the materials used are media art. This is the artistic practice of using technology to manipulate and combine images and issues together in order to create a dimension of thought. It challenges the boundaries that we construct to establish our separation from the "outside" world, and maintain our identity. The production methods used in such artworks as "Protein Lattice" are getting a kind of inverted form and then manipulating and exploting taht image and issue in order to challenge our immediate response and trigger a reflection.

The term "too close for comfort" a a very relavent term that could be used to describe Patrica Piccininis' work. Her majoe works challenge our classification of life through the process of displaying the relationship and differences between the organic, natural and our man-made material world.
