Life in Words

Words and Letters that have come to life. You would think Victor Frankenstein himself as decided to enter the world of poetry.

But really it is Christian Bok and his attempt to put his (art) work within a sequence on DNA. His blog is his journey to make it happen, working with Technology to bring his poetry to life.

"I am, in effect, engineering a life-form so that it becomes not only a durable archive for storing a poem, but also an operant machine for writing a poem—" Christian Bok

  2. I like how you brought up Victor Fankenstein in your introduction. This is a very intriguing lead-in.

    The only thing is...I am not entirely sure that it's his blog. It looks like it might be a feature on him on another blog.

    Either way, great find!
