Christian Bok’s the Xenotext Experiment
I find it extremely interesting that Christian Bok chose to encode
his work into living matter in this case a bacteria strand called,
“Deinococcus radiodurans”. The XenoText Experiment takes using art and
technology to new heights. This form of bacteria is extremely resilient
and is able to withstand an atomic blast. The significance of this is
your work could potentially out live the human race and live on in this
simple organism. This marks a new era for art and potential art forms.

I agree that this type of poetry and scientific combination does mark a new era for art. It is unbelievable to grasp the concept of evolving scientific ideas when things such as these are made. Nevertheless, it is very unique and definitely interesting!
