Finding DNA sculptures in London

by Eva Amsen

On Sunday, a group of friends and I set out to find the DNA sculptures that are scattered around London this summer.

The weather wasn’t the best, and we started the journey in heavy rain, but it got a little bit better later. We didn’t make it to all 21 schedules, but we saw 19 of them and you can see them all in this video.

From a distance, this sculture in the Barbican cinema looks like it’s covered in vines, but when you get closer you see that all the “stems” and “flowers” are made of ethernet cables, film strips, and other mand-made technological materials. If you only have time to see one of the sculptures, make it that one!
