Exhibition: Genetic Automata

Date: 8 June 2023

An ongoing body of video works exploring race and identity in an age of avatars, videogames and DNA ancestry at the Wellcome Collection, London.

‘Genetic Automata’ is an ongoing body of video works by artists Larry Achiampong and David Blandy exploring race and identity in an age of avatars, videogames and DNA ancestry.

The four films in the series investigate where deeply ingrained ideas about race come from and the role that science has played in shaping these perceptions. The exhibition premieres ‘_GOD_MODE_’, the newest film in the series, commissioned by Wellcome Collection, Black Cultural Archives and Wellcome Connecting Science.

The exhibition is being held at Wellcome Collection, London, until February 2024, and you can find more details here.
