Artistic Molecules & Audio Microscope
Joe Davis, Katie Egan/USA
Art work constructed from synthetic molecules of DNA: Audio Microscope allows the user to image particular living cells while simultaneously listening to their greatly amplified - and species-specific - microacoustic signatures. Microvenus contains a coded visual icon representing the external female genitalia and by coincidence, an ancient Germanic rune representing the female Earth.The project Riddle of Life, which likewise works with sequencing and back-translation, takes the poetic message “I am the riddle of life. Know me and you will know yourself.” as a point of departure that is loaded with significance with respect to both science and the history of art.
