This interpretive portrait of a particular DNA sequence of 201
base pairs was created with the assistance of team of department
microbiologists, geneticists and crystallographers. The dichroic
mirrors reflect both overhead sunlight and ambient light, creating
a faintly colored atmosphere throughout the stairwell. The ephemeral
nature of the surface of the mirror is analogous to the ephemeral
nature of DNA itself.
