Christian Bok's work with Dna

I think It's quite extrodinary that Christian is embedding poetry into dna. 

 I have never heard of Christian Bok before, intrigues me that he is doing 

something that is very different, outside of the box thinking. Having 

 trouble understanding him (wasn't concise), what I picked up from him was how diverse, 

possibilities and evolution of poetry.  I find this project interesting, impressed 

with his work, makes you question that humans are poetic beings. I like how

 the dna reacted to a certain poem, creating abstract shapes and patterns in his video.

 Lastly what caught my attention was that poetry can be preserved through dna which

 to me makes it timeless. Thinking about how people keep records in books, electronic 

devices, all of that could be wiped out by floods, technology crashing, in dna that issomething to think about. By preserving poems in dna they can last forever.
