<body class="TOC"> <H1>Portfolio.Thomas J McLeish: Table of Contents [1970-2006]</H1> <blockquote> I have a background rich in design, visualization, and prototyping with multidisciplinary teams on high pressure, deadline driven, 'demo or die' projects for world class institutions. My design experience covers architecture, interactive sculpture, interactive design tools, software engineering, tangible interfaces, and simple digital hardware development. My visualization experience ranges from leading the integration of 3D visualization into Murphy/Jahn Architects design process to designing and implementing a DirectX based 3D graphics engine for real time distributed applications. My prototyping and fabrication experience includes designing and overseeing the production of all hardware necessary to support the instrumentation of an innovative residential research facility, as well as use of tools to design and fabricate structure, printed circuit boards, and assembly language software for a working model of a self configuring distributed network. <a href="CV-2006.pdf"

Designed to appear as a normal condominium, it allows discrete, post occupancy observation of a willing participant in a specific study.

This area is where one finds what is called telomeres. Telomeres are comprised of gene-free DNA sequences which are slowly lost over time with each cell division. This natural loss of telomere material causes cellular aging and people to grow old . But telomeres do not always degrade. They can also be continuously regenerated with the help of an enzyme called telomerase.</li> <li><b><a href ="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/03 Project Description_content.html" target="_blank">03 Project Description: <br><img src="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/03 Project Description_thumbnail_rollover.jpg" height="25"></a>     </b>Scientists think that within just 15 years, they will be to the point of testing out this thesis in the form of a life-prolonging pill or injection. The essential effect would be to freeze the age and state of health of a person and to prolong that state indefinitely - as if threaded into a loop of time. But beyond the essential effect, this research hints to the possibility of even reversing the aging process. Thereby, if an elder person received the treatment, they would not only maintain their state of health - they will actually grow younger. Radically futuristic though this science may seem, it is tangible, invaluable, and also ethically dubious. There is no question that such malicious diseases such as cancer and AIDS should be excised, if possible, from our world. However, is age itself also a natural disease that can or should be cured with a pill? Why is immortality so desirable to us? Who will receive this pill? Who will control its distribution? Is it possible that longevity will become a basic human right for future generations?</li> <li><b><a href ="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/04 Project Description_content.html" target="_blank">04 Project Description: <br><img src="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/04 Project Description_thumbnail_rollover.jpg" height="25"></a>     </b>With this in mind, (art)n's recent artwork includes layers of imagery of the human body which bridge the gap between the microscopic telomere viewpoint to the macroscopic level of our skin covering our form. For, today the lenses that penetrate the human body include not only those of the hand-held camera but also those of the SEM the scanning electron microscope. The body is thereby fragmented on an increasingly vast range of scales. This has profound consequences on how we perceive ourselves. Where do our physical and emotional identities lay? Do they lay in our visage, our body form, our life experiences, or more in our genes? As both our DNA and our skin (through plastic surgery) become increasingly malleable, the allure of therapeutically altering them has grown exponentially. The meticulous mapping of our genetic structure seems reasonably justified if potential cures for destructive diseases and human suffering are the result. But what of classifying wrinkling and aging as causes of unnecessary suffering? Are we only becoming more vulnerable to vain temptations of modification by science? Or, are we finally in bold and courageous steps - wrestling charge of our species evolution away from Mother Nature?</li> <li><b><a href ="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/05 Essay_content.html" target="_blank">05 Essay: <br><img src="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/05 Essay_thumbnail_rollover.jpg" height="25"></a>     </b><a href="http://www.raaf.org/" target="_blank">Sabrina Raaf </a> provided much of conceptual framework from which the piece evolved.</li> <li><b><a href ="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/06 Barry Sketch_content.html" target="_blank">06 Barry Sketch: <br><img src="Visualization/Telomeres Visualization and Installation/06 Barry Sketch_thumbnail_rollover.jpg" height="25"></a>     </b>Barry Flanary, a telomeres specialist and currently a PhD. candidate in Molecular Biology at the University of Florida provided invaluable consulting on the work.
