The NY Times is discussiong the current exhibit at the
Henry Art Gallery in Seattle.

"The genomic revolution changes everything, including our creative lives
and the larger culture. Film plots hinge on the wicked wiles of clones.
Music is plucked from DNA. Books about biotech abound. And then there are
the visual arts..."

It discusses the GFP bunny. I wonder why nobody is trying
to sell GFP bunnies, puppies, etc. I would have to believe that
children would drive their parents *nuts* to get one. You could
walk your dog after dark and not need to bring a flashlight.
