In Genetic Sequence, the artist invited Frost Art Museum visitors to randomly select a postcard depicting one of Cortada’s four nucleotide paintings and place them sequentially within small plastic bags hanging in a grid on a wall to create “Sequentia.” In Dr. Kalai Mathee’s lab, Cortada determined the random sequence being generated by the participatory art project existed in a portion of the human chromosome 3.

Engaged Projects

  • “Coral Art (Echo Residency)” – Preserving coral through education on lowering your carbon footprint to reduce ocean acidification and greenhouse gases (commissioned by Education through Cultural and Historic Organizations for the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum, Honolulu, HI).
  • “Sequentia” – Exploring the sequence of events that make up life on the planet from the molecular to the monumental (exhibited at the Frost Art Museum in collaboration with Dr. Kalai Mathee, FIU Department of Molecular Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Founding Chair, Miami, FL).
  • “Ancestral Dinner Party” – Developing a connection to common ancestors by “hunting and gathering” and sharing a meal (exhibited at the Hardcore Art Contemporary Space for the 2010 5th Edition New Media Festival, Miami, FL).
