Abstract
As I write this, the news is filled with victorious announcements of the completion of the Human Genome Project. Science, triumphant in its control of knowing, through mapping, is positioned as conquering hero, clutching the booty of battle, mastery of the innermost territories of life. As Critical Art Ensemble describes it in “Body Invasion: Critical Cultural Practice,” their contribution to the “Biocollage” forum, it is “the greatest colonial initiative perhaps ever, full scale body invasion at the molecular level.”
