About us

Bio-Genica is a Bioresearch, marketing, and manufacturing company that was founded in 2004. We have expanded our work from the private sector, into the public to better serve the interests of all involved in this industry. Our goal is to expose a new generation to Bioengineering from an early age so that they will become accustomed to it and accept it, as we have learned, and been conditioned to accept every other technology in our lives.

Bio-Genica has the market focus, products, services, and team dedicated to maintaining and extending our leadership in our core markets.

Our product lines will continue to be refined for maximum efficiency and we welcome all feedback. Bio-Genica is: REdesigning, REdefining, REdiscovering, and REthinking nature, and will continue to achieve the most significant scientific and creative breakthroughs of the 21st century. Exciting changes are ahead and we hope that you’ll be right there with us.

We invite you to REthink nature with Bio-Genica.

Artist statement

In 1985, the US Patents and trademarks Office (PTO) affirmed the legal precedent, ruling that
genetically engineered plants, seeds and animal tissue could all be patented. Today, agricultural
crops are being modified and organisms with built-in obsolescence are being sold as commodities.
Life itself is quickly becoming a processed commodity in the privatization of nature. Biological
engineering by large companies, outside of nature has become a terrifying reality for my
generation to contend with.
Many times, research and development follow funding (usually fuelled by commercial interests).
Genpets takes a step back to examine trends in the pet craze and ponder where a new technology like Biotech may take it. A critical step in Genpets is that it also echoes current states such as pet stores and factory farms.
It's important to take a critical look at both sides of an issue before coming to any sort of conclusion. Bioengineering could lead to medical breakthroughs that save lives, but will it? Or will it be used in the same way we use the majority of technology in our lives.

Is Genpets then a hoax? If it is, then so is every work of art ever created. The idea behind art, probably the most basic idea is to create an illusion. Someone who paints a tree, unless they've posted a note beside the painting saying "this is not a tree" ("ce ne pas une pipe?") would then be a 'hoax' for the same reason. It is the image of an object that does not exist. Again, like many works of, 'creation' (let's not use the word art) be it a novel or film, the idea is to get the viewer thinking about the issues it brings up. It baffles me how many people are like "oh ha ha you got me". The idea isn't to 'get you'.... it's to help you think....

I've written the Genpets website with a heavy dose of sarcasm, so while you can't see "the canvas" simply reading the website should be enough to kick in that this isn't real.
