Is the artist a scientist or the scientist an artist? Neither. In fact, the question doesn't really matter. More importantly, Koen Vanmechelen puts his full creative capacity and his belief in constant cross-fertilization at the service of society. This book will teach you how he warned years ago about the power of the virus, how important gene science is in the conservation of endangered species, how locally every global movement begins and ends. With 'This is not a chicken' Vanmechelen offers every life, from the smallest organism to the largest mastodon, concrete projects to reinvent itself. A unique book that crosses all boundaries and provides an unedited insight into the sense of beauty, into globalization and viruses, and into the world of genetic wealth. Above all, it is an ode to the convergence of storylines and fields of meaning.

Is de kunstenaar een wetenschapper of de wetenschapper een kunstenaar? Geen van beide. Meer nog: de vraag doet er eigenlijk niet toe. Wat veel belangrijker is, is dat Koen Vanmechelen zijn volledige creatieve vermogen en zijn geloof in constante kruisbestuiving, ten dienste stelt van de samenleving. Dit boek leert je hoe hij jaren geleden al waarschuwde voor de kracht van het virus, hoe belangrijk de wetenschap van het gen is bij het behoud van bedreigde diersoorten, hoe lokaal elke globale beweging begint en eindigt. Met 'This is not a chicken' reikt Vanmechelen elk leven, van het kleinste organisme tot de grootste mastodont, concrete projecten aan om zichzelf heruit te vinden. Een uniek boek dat over alle grenzen gaat en een onuitgegeven inzicht geeft in de zin van schoonheid, in globalisering en virussen, en in de wereld van genetische rijkdom. Bovenal is het een ode aan de samenkomst van verhaallijnen en betekenisvelden.
