DDSmol From October 20th, 1995, Seiko MIKAMI has been showing her work "Molecular Clinic 1.0" at ArtLab, in Tokyo. This is a work in which participants manipulate the atoms of a virtual spider that lives in the ArtLab server. The theme of this exhibition is "molecular structures," and is a reference to the molecular biological paradigm that any biological liquid or solid can be artificially reconstructed through altering the molecular strings which compose it. In IC '95 "on the Web," MIKAMI is exhibiting DDSmol, a sort of digital pharmacy for this spider. In either work, the interface is similar. The user, accessing the work, first selects a molecule to download onto their computer, and a program for manipulating it. In the IC '95 exhibition, these are vaccines, mutations and other programs to be used in helping the spider survive the mutations effected upon it at the ArtLab show. The user then returns the molecules to the spider's body and follows its transformations. The sum of interventions naturally affects the spider's living environment in unpredictable ways. In this context of unlimited transferability, innumerable combinations are possible, all woven together by the heartbeat of the computer's clock. The final result is a reflection of the collision, division, etc. of each individual information environment; their access terminal, their access domain, which atomic program they possess and the resultant molecular combination. The supplementary effects or effectiveness of each individual cell's health is something that no one can predict. This project is both a test of bioinformatic processes, and a look at the unpredictable nature of both biology and virtuality. The very process of exhibiting this first on the Internet is part of the artwork itself. The differences between users' experiences, prejudices and preferences, parameters are all part of this art work.
