The Eighth Day provides the public with the unique opportunity to experience an ecology of green glowing creatures and thus to critically reflect on the social and cultural implications of biotechnology. The Eighth Day brings together a biological robot (biobot) linked to the Internet, GFP fish, GFP mice, GFP amoeba and GFP plants, and video footage and sound of the ebb and flow of moving water. All transgenic creatures in The Eighth Day express the gene that produces green fluorescent protein (GFP).
