Teaser of CODEX NATURAE performance
A Genomics Sonification Project

Paraphrasing the famous quote by Galileo, the book of life is written in the language of the genetic code. This code, shared by all living beings on this planet, be they bacteria, viruses, flowers, insects, or large mammals, serves as the operating system of life. The secret behind the immense diversification of living species lies in the propensity of this book to mutate and dynamically interact with its environment.

In 2018, the sci-artist and sound designer Giorgio Sancristoforo developed a system of base 4 numerical translation and sonification of DNA nucleotide sequences called “phonosomic code” at the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission.

By means of this algorithm implemented in a bioinformatics software created by the author, it becomes possible to use the genome as a programming language for a multimedia performance, defining the architecture of instruments and their score using the nucleotide triplets. Furthermore, the versatility of the phonosomic code allows for the exploitation of genetic mutations as vehicles for transforming images and sound.

In CODEX NATURAE the genome becomes a multimedia experience that can be explored through the spectator’s senses, enabling the perception of patterns hidden at the core of life itself.
