Niche

"Niche tells the story of an artist who meets a scientist and through the encounter makes a hypothesis: If the artist became a stem cell and then divided into a neuron, would he discover the meaning of intelligence?" "David Edwards and Jay Cantor introduce a new fiction genre - the novel catalogue - to coincide with the opening of the new experimental art and design center in Paris, Le Laboratoire. In the novel catalogue, the /process/ through which creators create matters as much as the /works/ that result from their creation." "Illustrated by the photography of New York artist Daniel Faust, the novel catalogue fictionalizes the creative process of an exhibition season that opens with the artistic outcome of an experiment between Fabrice Hyber, a French artist, and Robert Langer of MIT."--BOOK JACKET.Seguier is the author of 'Niche', published 2008 under ISBN 9780674027909 and ISBN 0674027906.
