Humankind has imagined and depicted fantastical creatures since the formation of the first societies. Beasts such as the Chimera, the Golem, the Minotaur and Galatea could be said to be culturally symptomatic. Today, in the twenty-first century, we witness the emergence of a new class of beings: organisms that are first imagined and then--through the agency of biotechnologies--brought to life. What once was myth is today a medium. In Eduardo Kac: Life Extreme, Kac, the pioneer of "bio art" who is internationally recognized for celebrated works such as "Genesis" and the fluorescent green "GFP Bunny," has selected 36 new organisms and invited the prominent philosopher Avital Ronell to discover these new beings. The book, published in Dis Voir's new Encounters series, is prefaced by Kac's "Anthroduction" and includes a whimsical taxonomy of taxonomies, offering a unique classification method for future species.

Au confluent de l'art et de la science, l'artiste bio-art Eduardo Kac et la philosophe Avital Ronell échangent sur la biotechnologie, les limites de l'humain et sur la distinction fondamentale entre naturel et artificiel. Une proposition " poétique " qui prend la forme d'un guide des vies nouvelles apparues en ce début du XXIe siècle, narrant une différente histoire de la vie sur la planète Terre.
