Baitul Ma'mur: House of Angels
by Sarah Khan, Joe Davis
🏆 Honorary Mention · Prix Ars Electronica 2021
“Baitul Ma'mur: House of Angels” by Sarah Khan and Joe Davis received a Honorary Mention in the Artificial Life & Intelligence category of the Prix Ars Electronica 2021.
Ours has been a project to keep 2.417 quintillion angels on the head of a pin. We have been inspired by repeating geometries and nested calligraphies of Islamic art to demonstrate a similarly recursive scheme for DNA information-keeping.
