“The goal of The Fly Room Project is to raise awareness about the early history of genetics, especially in an era where we are confronted with the excitement and scares of the Genomic Age. With our fruit flies in the spotlight, we will place emphasis on the importance of model research, notably fruit fly research, in our scientific advancement and the current research in understanding evolution, development and disease. The space will also have a treasure hunt twist where kids, a la GOONIES will embark on wild aventures to uncover clues. They will peer through milk bottles searching for answers from their fellow insects.”

The Fly Room will be recreated by a dynamite duo of Production Designers Ika Avaliani and Anna Yates. Artist and Photographer Catherine Chalmers will cover the walls with larger-than-life imagery of insect development. ‘Art Perversionist’ and Filmmaker Luis Nieto will create a Fly Circus with mutant flies. The space will be sonically charged with the old-new electroacoustic score of Daniel Wohl. ]]> http://www.theflyroom.com/489/feed/ 0 http://www.theflyroom.com/luis-nieto-the-dream-maker-and-creator-of-the-acrobatic-fly/ http://www.theflyroom.com/luis-nieto-the-dream-maker-and-creator-of-the-acrobatic-fly/#comments Sat, 23 Feb 2013 17:49:07 +0000 admin http://www.theflyroom.com/?p=423 luisnieto.com]]> http://www.theflyroom.com/luis-nieto-the-dream-maker-and-creator-of-the-acrobatic-fly/feed/ 0 http://www.theflyroom.com/science-magazine-aaas-teams-up-with-the-fly-room-team-and-will-provide-original-1920s-manuscripts-and-science-journal-issues-for-the-lab-set/ http://www.theflyroom.com/science-magazine-aaas-teams-up-with-the-fly-room-team-and-will-provide-original-1920s-manuscripts-and-science-journal-issues-for-the-lab-set/#comments Thu, 21 Feb 2013 07:38:08 +0000 admin http://www.theflyroom.com/?p=418 Science magazine / AAAS joins as one of the sponsors of The Fly Room feature. They will be help us reconstruct the laboratory and provide original 1920s manuscripts published in Science from Calvin Bridges that will be featured in the film.  Some of the articles featured will be relating some of Calvin Bridges’ groundbreaking discoveries in sexual determination in Drosophila and Pigeons.
