GFP Bunny
2000
GFP Bunny is an artwork by Eduardo Kac that consists in the creation of a fluorescent rabbit through molecular biology. Kac named the rabbit Alba, who became the first new mammal in the history of art, thus sparking the international recognition of Bio Art. GFP Bunny has become a global phenomenon, having been appropriated by major popular culture franchises such as Sherlock, Big Bang Theory and Simpsons, and by writers such as Margaret Atwood and Michael Crichton.
