humans but also by other organisms
in nature. He said that humans
themselves have been subject to ge
netic manipulation carried out by
viruses that insert their own strains
into DNA.
"We have always been transgenic
and did not know," Kac said. "It is a
process that happens in the wild."
Kac has also created displays that
break down the traditional roles of
the observer and the object. He creat
ed an aviary where the observer is
transported by a virtual reality head
set into the viewpoint of a robotic par
rot inside the aviary.
"I'm using a technology ... to
show that things could be different,"
Kac said. "(Technology is) at the serv
ice of imagination."

University installs
individual bike lockers
Individual bike lockers have been
installed at key locations on campus
to prevent theft and to offer a perma
nent and more secure space for peo
ple to park their bikes.
Department of Public Safety Inter
im Director Tom Hicks said the new
lockers will be an improvement for
bike parking on campus.
"It provides bike users an option if
they are particularly concerned about
bike theft on campus," he said,
adding that it is a good option for
people with expensive bikes.
Hicks also said a lack of available
bike parking is becoming an issue on
campus, and he hopes the new lock
ers will help.
Each locker costs $50 to rent per
year plus a refundable key deposit of
$15, and renters get their own key to
the locker.
Thirty new bike lockers are being
installed at Oregon Hall to replace the
old lockers.
The campus has about 66 bike
lockers right now, including 30 lock
ers that were just installed that serve
the Computing Center, McKenzie
Hall and the Lillis Business Com
plex. A Eugene ordinance requires
that the new building has sufficient
bike parking.
As new construction happens on
campus, more bike lockers will be
added.
Almost half of the lockers are cur
rently occupied, but the remainder
can be rented through DPS.
The lockers were paid for with the
