Genetic Responsibility

Genetic Responsibility 05/05/2004 08:26 AM
Somewhere in the royal forests of Jaktorów, 1627 AD. Hidden deep in the primeval forest of what will become modern-day Poland, a poacher notches an arrow to the string of his bow. In an open glade, preserved for the exclusive hunting of the king, an animal that exists nowhere else in the world grazes. Her ancestors are preserved in ochre paints on the cave walls of Lascaux. Relatives to her bloodline will become the black fighting bulls of Spain, but they will be pale shadows compared to her. Standing more than six feet high at the shoulder, the aurochs' horns are massive scimitars of bone, spreading more than an arms span from her broad triangular head. She is ten feet from nose to tail, tons of muscle and flesh that are impossible to stop once she has begun her terrifying charge. The wood of the bow creaks as the poacher draws the arrow. The aurochs looks up curiously. The arrow flies free. The aurochs bellows with pain and range as the shaft sinks into her body, spearing her heart. Bloody froth drips from her mouth as her head rears back - and then the massive animal falls, the collapse of her body echoing through the forest. The leaves shake for a moment. The aurochs chest falls as she draws a shuddering breath. And then she dies. She is the last of her kind.

Genetic music

Genetic music 12/30/2004 11:08 AM
David Pescovitz: Genemusik is a project that "takes fragments of conventional Western melody and sequences them as DNA that is subsequently ‘bred’ and ‘mixed’ within bacterial cultures." The system is being developed by Nigel Helyer at the Faculty of Natural and Agricultural Sciences at the University of Western Australia. I have no idea what this will sound like, but it "sounds" interesting. From the project description:

DNA extracted from these cultures may then be re-sequenced, translated to musical notation and interpreted as new musical forms.It is anticipated that the first public manifestation of GeneMusiK will be a series of elegant body adornments that contain ‘musicalised’ synthetic DNA sequences. Each item will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity and an audio CD of the musical sequence. Subsequent editions are envisioned that will contain DNA sequences hybridised within bacterial cultures, together with installations of living ‘musical low-life’.
