Chromosome as a machine, conceptual image C016 / 8432
Chromosome as a machine, conceptual image. Computer artwork of a human chromosome made out of machine parts. Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) strands that contain sections, called genes, which encode the bodys genetic information. Each chromosome consists of two chromatids joined at their centres by the centromere, which is involved in cell division

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Chromosome as a machine, conceptual image" takes us on a visual journey into the intricate world of genetics and technology. Created by artist Tim Vernon, this computer artwork showcases a human chromosome constructed entirely from mechanical parts. Chromosomes are the building blocks of life, composed of DNA strands that contain our genetic information. In this image, we see how these complex biological structures can be represented as sophisticated machines. The genes encoded within each chromosome play a vital role in determining our unique characteristics and traits. The fusion of biology and engineering depicted here highlights the incredible advancements made in gene manipulation and genetic engineering. It symbolizes humanity's ability to harness technology to unravel the mysteries of life itself. The attention to detail is remarkable; every strand, part, and concept has been meticulously crafted to create an awe-inspiring representation of our genetic makeup. This artwork serves as a reminder that behind the complexity lies beauty and order. Through this thought-provoking piece, we are invited to contemplate the intersection between science, technology, and nature. It sparks curiosity about what lies ahead for genetic research and its potential impact on society. Tim Vernon's "Chromosome as a machine" challenges us to explore new frontiers where art meets science—a testament to both human ingenuity and our endless quest for knowledge about ourselves.
