Metagenomics in Art Workshop at Tate Modern




I have created this workshop for the Tate Exchange programme at Tate Modern, as part of the ongoing collaboration that we started in October 2015.
We will sequence artworks using metagenomics sequences and we will create an artificial and collective DNA sequence.

The workshop responds to Soudy's research in drug design for cancer research.  The objective of the workshop was to use Soudy's lab equipment to do the research, as a metaphor for the designed drug, and the public would have to construct the tumor cell around it. To make the tumor cell, we took the sequence of aminoacids of a real cancerous cell, that Soudy has already worked with, printed it onto paper and cut into sequences.  The real aminoacids are similar in shape, so we made five groups that were representative of those, we assigned them geometrical shapes, and we cut on the CNC pieces of foam with those shapes. In the workshop, people took a sequence prin
