Homo sapiens chromosome 15 genomic contig, GRCh37.p10 Primary Assembly I wanted to see what DNA would look like translated directly into RGB pixel values.  My method assigns 2-bit values to each base pair (A, C, G, & T).  Each triplet of base pair values is then translated directly into a 6-bit RGB pixel value.  For example, the sequence ATG is equivalent to a single RGB pixel value: 0, 255, 170.

A single core memory dump performed on my laptop, with 4GB of physical memory, produced a 6GB file.  To make visualizing the raw binary easier for my computer, I split the file into 273 25MB chunks.  Each 25MB chunk rendered at 6 bits per pixel (2 bits per RGB color channel) and 336px width yields an image 33,670px long.  While going through them one-by-one, searching for interesting visual patterns, I decided to give myself a soundtrack to listen to by rendering the chunks as 8bit PCM audio.

Day 4 @ TextielLab Textielmusuem Tilburg, NL

The palette is fixed and I’ve settled on my final design constraints and source material.  For the next two working days in the lab, I’ll be weaving fragments from core memory dumps.  Raw binary data from my system RAM have been rendered into a 6-bit color-space with a total of 64 colors.  The data itself is a collection of fragments of files, images, sounds, temporary data and programs, a sketch of my activities assembled according to the obscure logic of my operating system.

Complete documentation of the process and resources will come in the following weeks.

After having my PC Laptop, camera, and audio recorder stolen on a train to Amsterdam, I am in debt to my dear friend Jeroen Holthuis for helping me write a program in Processing which performs variable bits per channel rendering of raw binary data in a similar fashion to Paul Kerchen’s LoomPreview. He has also been kind enough to loan me his camera and host me for some of my time in the Netherlands. Many thanks!
