A new evolutionary self-assembling creature

This sculpture, inspired by the functionalities of DNA origami, investigates the process of DNA self-assembly to a stable arrangement that ensures the preservation of information against environmental factors.

Preserved DNA can serve as a memory of an already functioning building plan, which is necessary for more complex entities to evolve. The sculpture was designed by a machine learning model trained on genes and images of organisms’ body structures.

The work invites speculation on evolution development within an entanglement of DNA and new technologies, encouraging the imagination of characteristics and habitat of undefined taxa.
