Perhaps a stretch, but you might be interested in the Nano exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. http://nano.arts.ucla.edu/ or http://nano.arts.ucla.edu/index2.php Best, Karen -- Karen Lunsford, Assistant Professor of Writing Mailing address: Writing Program, South Hall 1520 University of California, Santa Barbara Santa Barbara, CA 93106-3010 klunsford@writing.ucsb.edu 805-893-8556 Quoting "Ronald E.

One thing I know of is DNA music. They take the patterns of the four match-up letters in the DNA/RNA, and convert them into musicial notes. Then they mix/massage that into sounds, music, etc. So for instance, you can maybe hear diabetes as slightly more discordant than non-diabetes DNA; most of the music is ambient, atmospheric. An interesting twist to this is that while DNA sequences cannot be copyrighted, music can. So there have been some attempts to take newly identified DNA sequences and copyright them as music. ====================================== Ronald E. Rice Arthur N.

Does anyone know much about biologically related new media projects other than the Critical Art Ensemble? I'm specifically interested in eugenics and things similar to The Flesh Machine. I don't know of anyone who will know since my knowledge has effectively outstripped that of my new media professor at this point, so I'm just fishing for any sources that are helpful here. Either analyses of CAE's work, or (preferably) other new media interventions.
thanks! kathy
