GenomicArts is a collection of abstract art pieces generated by an algorithm created by Laura Frese and Vahe Galstyan. The algorithm processes genomic sequences to create brush strokes that appear to have been made by an actual painter. This creates a unique artistic expression of the selected sequence and visualizations of how the genomes of different organisms share similarities & differ. Many of the organisms we show here have a significant negative impact on the lives of people & animals. We hope our work will help bring more awareness to the diseases caused by these organisms while also providing an aesthetically pleasing conversation piece.
