On  September 18, 2000, from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m., the Institute for Law 
and the Humanities and the Institute for Science, Law and Technology 
ay Chicago-Kent College of Law will host a symposium entitled "Art, 
Science and Free Speech:  The Work of Eduardo Kac."  Eduardo Kac is 
an assistant professor of art and technology at the School of the Art 
Institute of Chicago.  The symposium will focus on one of his 
well-known transgenic works, "GFP Bunny," a living bunny created with 
the green flourescent protein gene of a jellyfish that glows green 
when exposed to blue light.

The other panelists are Dr. Christiane Paul, curator of new media 
arts at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and editor and 
publisher of Intelligent Agent, a print and online magazine about 
interactive media technology in arts and education; Dr. Stuart Newman 
of the New York Medical College who applied for a patent on a process 
used to make human-chimp chimeras to prevent anyone else from using 
the technique; and Professor Sheldon Nahmod of Chicago-Kent, a 
well-known expert on constitutional law, the First Amendment, civil 
rights, and the law of Section 1983.

After the symposium Eduardo Kac will sign his new book: 
"Telepresence, Biotelematics, Transgenic Art". More information on 
the book is available at http://www.ekac.org/tbtta.html.

The symposium is free and open to all comers.  A full description of
