Gregor Mobius

Since 1992 he has been exploring possible visual representations of RNA and DNA. The result of these explorations is a specific visual language for a visual representation of RNA/DNA strands that converts these linear structures into 2D images. Images generated this way, based on five discrete values on the gray-scale and 3×4 matrices, allow us to learn more about DNA/RNA, not only as biological (functional) structures but also as a visual language whose syntax and semantics are based on visual properties of its signs/images.
