In 2007 I made a double intervention at the Documenta in Kassel: 1) I took red poppies from Sanja Ivekovic’s work «Poppy Field»

and extracted the DNA from them. from them. A month later I dissolved the frozen DNA in water containing living water worms (Biomphalaria glabrata).
I made «genomic readings» with a Braille soft with a synthetic voice and the free soft that converts text to sound:

«Genomic Text » example:
1 ccaaggttca atgcctgctt tgacacgatt cagcgtgtaa caaagtggag gaaggtcgca
61 agggacgact tcctcgaaga ggcggcgcgg gttgaccccc agtataacaa tgtgcaggtt
121 cctggggagg tcatgaggag catgaatgct caaagtgtgg cgatggagct acgtgcccgc
where:
a=Adenine
c=Cytosine
t=Thymine
g=Guanine
are the five main nucleotide bases found in the nucleic acids DNA and RNA.

I have transmitted through baby calls their own genoma
(Biomphalaria glabrata) to the water worms.
