“The Body in a Criminal Age” with Paul Vanouse
October 21, 2013 @ 7:00 pm – 9:00 pm EDT
Remember the OJ Simpson case? This talk is designed to creatively counter mass-media dramatizations that typically misinform the public, and provide audiences with the conceptual tools to understand current issues surrounding use of DNA imaging and databasing. Just as the term DNA fingerprinting has led to misinformation regarding its efficacy, DNA evidence is also hyperbolized in popular culture. The “CSI effect” is a reference to the phenomenon of shows such as the CSI franchise overstating the accuracy of forensic techniques, and exaggerating the abilities of forensic science. Part of the “Bioart in an Industrial Wasteland” project. Co-sponsored by iEAR Presents!
