Esta imagen muestra (lo que espero se vea como) un acercamiento al ojo de una mosca panteonera sintética, donde aparece la leyenda "404 FACE.APP NOT FOUND". El código 404 es el error reportado al no encontrar algo en el sistema, como suele ocurrir en sitios web o servidores mal hechos. En cuanto a FACE, esto facilmente puede hacer referencia a cierto sitio de internet famoso por ser el chismógrafo más grande del mundo. Finalmente, el .APP nos debería recordar el tremendo énfasis que actualmente se tiene por hacer micro-programas mal hechos y caros en lugar de aplicaciones en forma.

En conjunto, el objetivo es mostrar un posible futuro donde hasta las moscas pueden servir de papparazzi usando herramientas baratas que funcionan como "dios les dé a enteder". Siendo esta mosca transgénica una creación del hombre, a uno solo le queda recordar lo efímero que puede ser la atribución de valor a elementos como "privacidad", "natural", u "original", ya que todo acaba siendo sublevado al interés comercial que riga en ese momento. Finalmente, la leyenda a la izquierda debería abrir una pregunta, cuál es el rol de estas disiplinas y qué las contrasta / compara? Son sinónimas..?

Hector Medina - I spy with my little eye


“I spy with my little eye” by Hector Medina, 2012.



This image shows a close-up of the eye of a synthetic green bottle fly, where the legend "404 FACE.APP NOT FOUND". The 404 code is the error reported when something is not found on the system, typically on web-servers. As for FACE, this makes a reference to a rather famous internet website known for being a great gossip exchange platform. Finally, the . APP should remind the viewer of the tremendous growth that smaller usually poorly-built applets have had, in detriment of bigger and better built programs.

Overall, the goal of the piece is to show a possible future where even flies serve as paparazzi tools, even though they are poorly built as the synbio tools were used in a haphazard way. This transgenic fly is a human creation, and thus it may evoke the ephemeral nature of concepts such as Privacy, Natural, and even original, as all are subject to the economic interest that prevail in that setting. Finally, the left legend should open on a question: which is the role of those disciplines, what do them share and what makes them different? Are they synonymous?
