The 20th century was the age of information. Since the arrival of the computer in the 1950s it seems that even life itself has become ‘information’ given that it consists of genes, bits and sequences of symbols. Genesis examines how – in unexpected ways -- the ‘information metaphor’ returns in the same form in both art and science. With exhibits drawn from the visual arts and from science, the exhibition explores the different interpretations and the limits of the information metaphor. Can life itself be translated into a computer code? Can a computer program come to life and even create art?
