"In 1999, Eduardo Kac, an internationally recognized artist who was best known for his interactive net installations, commissioned a French biotech lab to create a “transgenic bunny.” The scientists injected the egg of an albino rabbit with the green fluorescent protein of a Pacific jellyfish. In 2000, Alba, the green fluorescent rabbit, was born in Jouy-en-Josas, France. It was not his first foray into “transgenic art” but it was definitely his most famously controversial."
