Set of six aquatint works created in 1992 by Dennis Ashbaugh in the style of the etchings he had been working on for Agrippa.

From the Wingate Studio site:

“This set, titled Genetic Portraits, had its genesis in the early 1990’s as part of a book project by publisher Kevin Begos, that was a collaboration with the science fiction writer William Gibson. When the project was about to be cancelled we made an agreement with the artist to continue with the portfolio prints and publish them ourselves. These prints are very similar to the large scale paintings that Dennis was making at the time.

Dennis’ work of the last fifteen years has concerned itself with our human relationship to science, biotechnology and genetic research. His paintings and prints fuse the traditions of abstraction and concept art to confront issues of technological advancement in a computer driven age.”

The site includes small images of the six works.

Perf. William Gibson. Mark Neale Productions, 2000.

DVD documentary video features William Gibson on a road trip across North America, starting from Los Angeles. U2’s Bono reads from Neuromancer, and Bruce Sterling and Jack Womack fade in and out of the car where Gibson carries on an extended interview while literally moving down the “information superhighway,” and also down strip roads and backstreets. (Website for documentary)

“On an overcast morning in 1999, William Gibson, father of cyberpunk and author of the cult-classic novel Neuromancer, stepped into a limousine and set off on a road trip around North America. The limo was rigged with digital cameras, a computer, a television, a stereo, and a cell phone. Generated entirely by this four-wheeled media machine, No Maps For These Territories is both an account of Gibson’s life and work and a commentary on the world outside the car windows. Here, the man who coined the word “cyberspace” offers a unique perspective on Western culture at the edge of the new millennium, and in the throes of convulsive, tech-driven change.” (from DVD back cover)

This site features an artistic statement by Dennis Ashbaugh, as well as an image his “genomic” artwork “Bio-Gel (aka The Jolly Green Giant).”

“The year I was born, Barnett Newman painted a work called Genetic Moment in his search for a new beginning for painting. That fact was never lost on me. It is now a question of whether art is leading reality around or reality is leading art around, which seems to matter very little at this point, since time has collapsed so completely on itself.”
