Code representing code generated by code made from blood...these works are now at www.genomixer.com


A series of online artworks inspired by the human genome sequence and developed from dna profiles which are sequenced from blood samples. The online artworks are investigations into genetic codes mapped and re assembled online. The series enables a cross reference all the code on the genome sequence allowing you to intermix or breed your own variable; you can look at the new mix of chromosomes in real time; on line. You can also keep and print this pattern from the website. Works are enabled by dna code extracted from my blood.

The sounds and images of code make audio visual self portrait versions. The next system will allow imput from dna user worldwide. The shop offers the facility to have bed-spreads and curtains made in your very own post genetic mix.....mutant. You can also purchase other dna related artworks and artefacts. To make these works my dna was sampled to make metaphases, g-banding and full profiles of chromosomes. Samples of my dna currently resides in my freezer ready for cloning. All the works in this site are being updated and please have a look at the forum and post up messages.

genomixer ....a database of dna code.

To take these ideas into a completely new online experience. It seems likely with the advent of self dna tests the emergence of this type of DNA test will be prolific. This data can be recorded into the genomixer database and saved. That is, each independent user will have there own personal online audio visual experience based on there unique genetic code and becuase they have the option to save it this means they can also see and listen to other users results. In other words this is a giant open source audio visual labyrinth and database. The system uses a generative audio system that can play interactive non linear audio over the net. The sounds are mapped to the genetic codes. Genomixer is a complete audio visual online generative system. Code representing code generated by code made from blood.

These artworks involve many facets of new digital creativity. The genomixer series.The objective is to provide a seductive, multisensory non-linear and interactive experience for the audience to immerse into. The "user" controls these evolving pieces through movement. The character of the resulting piece is altered and manipulated by the user. These works can be installed into 'real' environments, where the movement of people in the room or gallery triggers the interactivity within the work.


There are a series of works online including junker, geno , genomixer, and mutator. There are also touch screen versions , an installation, customised artworks and a performance..The artworks have already been shown in First Site Gallery Colechester and at The Digital Hub Dublin and Test Portal Holland.
