DNA Origami Art

Description

How to create art with DNA origami technology, from design through manufacturing to imaging with atomic force microscopy. Students will learn aesthetics and think through critical and speculative design approaches about the cultural impacts of this emerging technology.

The workshop participants should bring their laptops as we will be conducting hands-on exercises that require a computer.

Undergraduates welcome.
