    About the Book

    Edit

    Catalogue for the Sequence project. Sequence aims to artistically investigate the emerging technology of whole genome sequencing of bacteria, and consider what it means to us personally, culturally and socially. A genome means all the different fragments of DNA guanine, adenine, thymine, or cytosine that go to make the basis for a living organism.

    Anna Dumitriu embedded herself in the research of The Modernising Medical Microbiology Project who are sequencing the whole genomes of clinically important bacteria. The artist wanted to begin to understand her own microbiome better and study deeply one of the organisms that lives on her own body using the state of the art technology of next generation whole genome sequencing.

    The aim of the project was to research, develop and exhibit a new digital artwork and events programme around the emerging technology of whole genome sequencing of bacteria. Through the project Dumitriu intervened directly in the scientific research process with her own bacterial genome, and worked with programmer/digital artist Alex May and a team of bioinformaticians to hack the algorithms used by the scientists.

    The project and subsequent workshops interrogated concerns around big data and emerging pandemics. It represented a new direction in Dumitriu's practice and utilised her unique access to leading scientific research, through collaborations with Public Health England, University of Oxford, University of Hertfordshire and Brighton and Sussex Medical School. The project, which took the form of a shifting and evolving installation was exhibited at major venues including the Victoria and Albert Museum, Wellcome Collection as part of The Bacteria Light Lab created by Dumitriu for the "On Light Spectacular", Watermans Gallery, Fukuoka Museum in Japan as part of Data Body as Artefact and showcased at the EVA Conference and at The University of Oxford.
