Title:
"The Four Building Blocks of My Life"
Medium: Animated graphics implemented in Macromedia Flash.
Legend: I used for my four bases four different colored squares
representing the four most meaningful things in my life: love (A),
friendship (T), money (G), and school (C). The base pairs are love
(A) and friendship (T), and money
(G) and school (C). http://www.bol.ucla.edu/~stacyh/design.html

| Summary:
I
used the beginning sequence of human DNA Polymerase to guide me in
making a collage/mosaic out of four different squares. Each row is
made of 23 squares to represent the 23 chromosomes in the human genome.
I wanted to see if there was a pattern hidden in the sequence, but
my end product didn't create a pattern as I expected it to. |

| Title:
"The Elusive Blue Rose" |
|
|
| |
|
|
| Sumary:
I became fascinated with the idea of a blue rose one day as I was
shoppingfor a present for my boyfriend. It was his 10th year anniversary
of coming to the States so I wanted to give him a bouquet of red,
white, and blue roses. I thought that I had seen a blue rose before,
but when I went to the flower store I found that blue roses didn't
exist. That night I painted halfof my white roses blue with acrylic
paints, but the waxy surface of the rose petals were unreceptive to
the paint, and the paint could not evenly coat the petals and only
formed droplets. I didn't think of blue roses again until I started
doing transgenic art-related web searches for our Genetics and Culture
class homework. I was inspired by Eduardo Kac's GFP Bunny to transfer
genes between different species of flowers - as he did in transferring
genes between different species of animals: jellyfish greenfluorescent
proteins into a rabbit. For my project I hope to create a transgenic
blue rose using genetic engineering by taking a "blue gene"
from a flower that naturally has a blue color, and inserting it into
the rose's genome. |
