〈螢光青兔〉以基因改造注入螢光蛋白，創造出一隻舉世無雙的螢光青色兔子。邵志飛於2018年重現這經典之作，以立體打印製作實物原大的兔子，身驅在紫外線下發出青色螢光。Kac的〈螢光青兔〉由創造大自然原來不存在的動物開始，可謂一件錯綜複雜的社會事件:(一)數個界別的專家和大眾，討論基因改造對文化和道德的影響;(二)基因在生命誕生的超然影響受質疑;基因、有機體和環境緊密相連的關係，需更精邃的理解;(三)生物多樣性和進化的概念，融入至基因組學的研究中;(四)人類和基因改造生物的跨物種溝通;(五)螢光青兔出現，融入日常生活;(六)探究「正常」、「多樣性」、「純種」、「雜種」、「異種」的意義;(七)基因傳播跨越傳統物種界限，帶來非符號學的溝通;(八)基因改造生物的情感和認知，獲大眾尊重、欣賞;(九)實質和概念上，將生物改造變成藝術創作的一部分。
GFP Bunny originally consisted of a green fluorescent rabbit genetically modified with the introduction of green fluorescent protein to create a unique living animal. Jeffrey Shaw’s 2018 remix of this seminal work presents a 1:1 scale plastic model of that rabbit, which glows green under a UV light. GFP Bunny project was a complex social event that started with the creation of an animal that does not exist in nature. It encompassed 1) a dialogue between professionals of several disciplines and the public on cultural and ethical implications of genetic engineering; 2) contestation of the alleged supremacy of DNA in life creation in favor of a more complex understanding of the intertwined relationship between genetics, organism, and environment; 3) extension of the concepts of biodiversity and evolution to incorporate precise work at the genomic level; 4) interspecies communication between humans and a transgenic mammal; 5) integration and presentation of GFP Bunny in a social and interactive context; 6) examination of the notions of normalcy, heterogeneity, purity, hybridity, and otherness; 7) consideration of a non-semiotic notion of communication as the sharing of genetic material across traditional species barriers; 8) public respect and appreciation for the emotional and cognitive life of transgenic animals; 9) expansion of the present practical and conceptual boundaries of artmaking to incorporate life invention.
