Friends and collaborators Larry Achiampong and David Blandy are bringing Genetic Automata to the Wellcome Collection, an exhibition that explores race and identity in this age of avatars, videogames and ancestry DNA. The show will feature four films that delve into the subject of scientific racism and how it persists today, whether in education, healthcare, science, politics, or another sector. The duo’s latest work, _GOD_MODE (2023), has been co-commissioned by the Wellcome Collection, Black Cultural Archives (BCA), and Wellcome Connecting Science to premiere as part of the series. Each film includes a spoken word soundtrack and imagery from video games, with a specific focus on those with dystopian sci-fi narratives that deal with the unethical use of genetic material.
