Hey there listeners!!! We are back with artist Juan Escobedo as we wade through this sci-fi movie Gattaca, written and directed by Andrew Niccol, questioning the morality of DNA manipulation starring VERY pretty people. This dystopian futurist vision with Valid and In-Vaid members of society predetermined by their genetic make-up provides a springboard to current issues of discrimination, institutional hierarchies, and tokenism. So won't you provide us with a sample of your DNA so that we can have it...Oh...I'm sorry, the wind caught it...
Tangents: Berlin Zoo, gay coding, Bechtel AND DuVernay test, CRISPR, Rand Paul, Maya Rudolph, Discount Tire, Maurizio Cattelan
