Indonesia-born Singaporean contemporary artist Boedi Widjaja’s Immortal Words designed in collaboration with geneticist Associate Professor Eric Yap playfully illustrates the intricate connections between art and science. Besides new and existing artworks that will be on exhibition, words of oral and written tradition from Southeast Asian languages and beyond will be encoded in DNA, with vials of DNA-encoded ink dispensed through gachapon machines for visitors to take home.
Producer: Audrey Koh
Artist: Boedi Widjaja
A public installation of Immortal Words will also be presented at Art SG under the PLATFORM sector.
