alon segev gallery presents 'genetic intimacy' - the artwork of french-israeli multi-disciplinary creative arik levy - demonstrating the
levy's ability to seamlessly move between the worlds of artist, technician, photographer and designer.
the pieces are an example of levy's compelling interest in process and the evolution of an idea, each artwork revealing his research
exploring the links between social signals, behavior and science.

the artist describes his intent for the showing:

''genetic intimacy' comes as an evolution of the rock and of my re-organized genetics narrative. 'genetic intimacy' is where one can
come in to observe and get to be part of these ideas. not that non-intimate relation does not influence but being part of it is a possibility
to change or realize physical parameters of such evolution.'
