DNA + 5-7-5 "Now, in a world of clones, chimeras, and transgenic creatures, it is time to consider new directions for poetry in vivo." (Eduardo Kac, also mentioned here)

possibly a mechanical beta version of Mofi's own Poet Laureate: 1) Microbot performance: Write and perform with a microrobot in the language of the bees, for a bee audience, in a semi-functional, semi-fictional dance.

  • Try a mechanical version if you like, but the clone project is already showing promising results.
  • Quite progressive. I like the proposals. *goes to lab to teach mechanical bees designed to take over the world (with frickin' lasers) to dance macarena*
  • Heh. Wonderfully silly, (if perhaps a smidgeon romanticized), shinything! [Doea anyone know if there's a word for the situation which results when art imitates life imitiating art?]
