Parables for the Biotech Age
A 75-minute multimedia storytelling adventure, blending art, music, animation and visuals. The biotech revolution will shape more than science—it will alter our emotional landscapes and the ways we connect with each other and the environment.
Does a vial of DNA foretell my fate? Is a bioengineered animal organ donor my kin? Parables attaches a visceral experience to the Biotech Age’s unnerving questions. Revolutions in technology transform not just how things get done, but people’s everyday lives, their ethics, even their physical bodies. Yet the most profound transformations are yet to come.
From the tiniest shifts in DNA to their ripple effects across cultures, Parables presents visions of the very near, very strange future and its inevitable moral reverberations. The show debuted at The Tech Museum of San Jose, CA in May 2024 on the largest IMAX dome on the West Coast before a sold-out audience.
