Alexis Rockman created a piece called “The Farm” to express his concern of genetic engineering on plants and animals. The artist covered the bottom of the piece with a soybean field. On top of the plants in the back there is a wild cow and boar, but as they get closer to the front they evolve in size. Then separated by a fence there are small components on the ground. This includes dramatically oversized tomatoes squished in a basket, a blue ribbon with a chinese hairless dog printed on it, and two

While looking at the flag, I immediately had an idea of what the project would be involving. While online, you sometimes see these types of “tricks” with famous paintings. For example, people have found a way to make the Van Gogh painting Starry Night come to life. They use a black and white picture with many circles moving, and you must stare at it for thirty seconds then look at the painting. The painting will then start to appear to swirl around. Though the concept is different, it is all similar
