The People’s Opera House project is a social experiment in crowd-sourced creativity that cinematically and operatically engages the audience in the compelling conversations of our time. At this anthropocentric moment in history we would be wise to engage in the conversations that Darwinism is being replaced by “directed evolution” through genetic engineering and that our future as transgenic or trans-human beings is rapidly approaching.
Tony Allard works from a trans-media perspective, which encompasses the hybridization of traditional and new mediums incorporated into static and time-based art works. Allard has presented his work internationally and has addressed in his work such issues as the replacement of human vision with machine vision and most recently a poetic/operatic critique of the life sciences and biotech industry’s directed evolution of the human species through genetic engineering. |
