Synopsis

Immortal Words :: 字基 splices poetry with genetic code, meditating on the diasporic condition. Boedi Widjaja asks: if history is displaced, how might it take up new space through the body? His 4-line toponymic poem spatialises as DNA nano-sculptures—lines, circles, cubes—released through a capsule ball machine, with the microfluidic molecular writing process unspooled on video. A living, participatory work realized with geneticist Eric Yap (Institute of Digital Molecular Analytics and Science).
