This looks pretty interesting. I wonder how the poetry will be encoded
in DNA sequence. Practically, if all current knowledge is wiped out
somehow, including the cypher used to encode the poetry, I find it
hard to believe that people will later come across the code and think
to try converting it into readable language. Then again, I imagine the
intent is far less practical and more metaphysical.
I always like seeing biology used in an artistic context, because I
feel that sciences and art are more complementary to each other than
most people recognize. Life and the processes associated with it are
beautiful and creative, and I think that is what the artist is trying
to capture.
