mankind like all life a mystery yet life at its center strangely simple elegant hidden deep within each cell littered with ancient ancestral remnants a master plan entangled with endlessly whirling pairs repeated a message in cipher at each life's dawn latent secrets are made manifest each destiny half free half fettered with tiny thread |
Art from science:
The above poem is encoded in the art. Notice that it does not contain the letters b, j, o, u, x, or z. This is because there are not corresponding amino acids for these letters. Also note that the artist would have rather used "humankind" in place of "mankind." Unfortunately, humankind contains a "u," one of the unavailable letters, and DNA translation always begins with an m, the amino acid Methionine. Stop codons were used for the spaces.
The original is Dymo and aluminum duct tape on canvas and measures 38 inches by 24 inches.
