Back in 2000/2001, I had an idea for my MFA thesis — to programmatically generate art through DNA, genetics or something of that sort. But of course, back then, I didn’t have the technical know-how, the connections nor the time to follow it through.
Over the years, there’s been a few companies built around this idea: DNA 11, DNA Artistry… among others. And then there’s Genetic Art, and Kandid and other genetic-related art projects. But I haven’t really seen one that generates an image based on an URL.
Web2DNA is the first one that converts a website into “dna art”… Neat stuff.
I sometimes I wish I can be just like Moto to do art for a living (not just any art, digital fine art!). But at least someday when he’s really famous, I’ll be able to tell everyone that I am good friends with Motomichi! Hmm… Maybe I should start buying up his “limited edition” prints while he’s still relatively an underground hit (for now).
