He is particularly well known for his works that integrate biotechnology, politics and aesthetics. Kac began his art career in the early 1980s as performance artist in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Within a few years he was involved in exploring holography as an interactive art form. At the same time, he began creating animated poetic works on the French Minitel platform.
