polycinease
the polycinease film synthesis flow up
from a vage science fiction idea of storing
chronofiles, such as emails, calender items,
pictures, movies, etc in a human body,
figuring all implicit possibilities,
consequences and possibly unjustified
illusions.
the project tries to find potential osculation
points between dna encoded and computer
based information and subsequent reaction
coupling. the concept of a synthesis of digital
and natural code opens up a wide field of
relevant questions that directly affect
technical, philosophical, cultural and
scientific studies. the issues pool around
feasibility, technological methods and their
relevance regarding the social construction
of the idea of life in general and the concept
of human beings in particular.
in our experiments we investigate the change
of binary code. i.e.: due to the ability of dna
recombination of living organisms, the
information of a dna encoded movie clip will
mutate along (some of the) same lines as any
dna encoded data in living organisms,
mutations will visually be indicated. analogous
explorations aim on the question on how dna
sequences processed by our algorithms would
express movie clips.
various forms of expression will be explored
and elaborated as artistic reflections of the
work process and providing a connecting
factor for analysis by a wider audience. This
feedback can be reintegrated into the
research and work process.
in a simplified manner one could think of the
dna as the ultimate lifeform, that has
constantly been building manifold wrappers
around itself in all thinkable colors, shapes
and functions, in an almost inapprehensible
complexity for some millions of years - pieces
of code in ongoing evolutionary processes. or
considering the genome as ultimate computer:
dna encoded information as natures dynamic
software that not only updates itself but also
the surrounding hardware environment. |
