The handling of genetic information is determined by economic interest - long before the ethics-committee could decide as to how to go about the issue responsibly. Great Britain and Estonia have already begun to create national gene pools because they claim to recognize them as the business of the future. The starting point for this panel is the development of bio and gene technology and a questioning of the ethical basics of our socitey. Which boundaries are transgressed by the new bio-political regime? How, with the present circumstances, should we newly define 'man', nature, agriculture and nourishment? Without claiming to provide an appropriate response, artists are creatively trying to negotiate their way through this moral quagmire. Questions regarding societal awareness of bio-technology and the protection of bio-political self-determination will be raised.
