The Xenotype Experiment

Christian Bok's plan to encode poetry into bacteria and, further, to "create" a bacteria that will, on replication, write new poetry, is pure genius. If it worked, I think it would be the closest act of man to do what "g*d/ boogey bugga/ tao" whatever you call it has done in creating the universe. What is it, after all, if not poetry incarnate? Brilliant and beautiful!
