BioTaylorism - collaboration
with Jin Lee
PowerPoint Presentation (2000)
Biotaylorism
"A
hilariously detailed, deadpan video heralding the application of Frederick
Taylor's principles of modern industrial organization to bioengineering
-- but ending with a brief prescription for sabotage, notably sneaking
into toy stores and attaching warning labels to Barbie dolls regarding
the cosmetic and genetic surgery those adopting a Barbie self-image might
face somewhere down the line."
Greil Marcus in Salon Real Life Top 10
"One art project that stands out for its explicitly critical approach
to biocybernetics is an Internet-based artist's collective known as Rtmark.
One of the most notable productions of this collective is BioTaylorism,
a half-hour automated PowerPoint presentation designed by Natalie Bookchin
of CalArts [and Jin Lee]."
