Desgin By Sequence

Title: Singularity
Medium: Computer Graphics. Interactive piece.
Legend: Single graphic element assigned to each one of the basis pairs A, C, G, T. Each of the four elements differentiates from the previous in a quarter rotation, or 90-degrees.

Summary: DNA naturally produces patterns of elements in an almost methodical way, so my explorations went in this direction. Basically I was looking at the creation of graphic patterns by assigning a single, and simple, graphic element to each one of the basis pairs A, C, G, T. Each of the four elements differentiates from the other in a quarter rotation, or 90-degrees. The choice of one single element represents the .01% of our genetic information that makes each one of us different, and unique. On the other hand, the use of a monochromatic, simple graphic element helped me to focus more on the analysis of the structural representation of the patterns. I decided to work purely on the formal aspect of designing patterns I donšt have control over, departing from any other emotional implications of the creative process.
