Ivonne Gracia Murillo exibited an interactive installation entitled 'eDNA', which proposes a conceptual collaboration between
man's digital media and the natural environment. The basis finds itself in the idea of using DNA to store encoded images,
something which many researchers are currently investigating. However rather than using DNA as a data storage tool to retrieve
the exact decoded information, eDNA explores the potentiality of collaborating with nature by embracing mutations that would
occur naturally over serveral generations of reproduction, thereby eliminating our predictive abilities and our control with
regards to anticipated output. The resulting information relating to quantity, tone and position of pixels would become natural
matter, through which images would evolve. In this interactive installation, viewers were invited to take photos of themselves
and see the end result in the form of mutated photographs.
