In a site-specific work, with a new element produced for Oxford, <em>The Infinity Engine&nbsp;<\/em>captures the senses by inviting&nbsp;visitors in to a dynamic installation that mimics the conditions of a genetics research lab. This installation takes a critical look at the ramifications of experimentation with genetics, presenting the ethical dilemmas facing scientists, and society, today.<\/p>\n<p>Hershman Leeson\u2019s extensive career focuses on the changing relationship between the body and technology which led to her pioneering work with artificial intelligence, implants and printed limbs. As technology has advanced, so has Hershman Leeson\u2019s work, focussing more recently on the medical and societal context surrounding genetic science.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To view and download
