''Dead Life Live Life'' | '''Dead Life Live Life''' is a poetic exploration of the interconnectedness of life and death through the sonification of the DNA movement.� It sonifies the DNA movement of a persimmon tree planted at my grandmother's house, who passed away in 2018. The tree serves as a living memory of her, still enduring in the now-empty house. The project visualizes the movement of the tree’s DNA through electrophoresis experiments, converting this movement into sound in real time. | ||

- Alessandro's research results show that DNA is mainly extracted from the leaves of the persimmon. Since I can't get the leaves of the persimmon right now, I tried the experiment with the weeds on the roadside. | - Alessandro's research results show that DNA is mainly extracted from the leaves of the persimmon.

I followed the protocol to extract DNA from the leaves, but I could not visually check if the DNA was extracted correctly. After the gel electrophoresis, i I will know if the DNA was extracted. �I will start electrophoresis as soon as the Stein green arrives. | I followed the protocol to extract DNA from the leaves, but I could not visually check if the DNA was extracted correctly.

<u>Introduction</u> | |||
PCR / Gel electrophoresis | |||
I did PCR 3 samples which are DNA of leaves extracted by DNA EXTRACT KIT, Banana, Blueberry. | |||
<u>Result</u> | |||
During the PCR experiment, I successfully amplified all the sample DNA and proceeded with gel electrophoresis. However, I encountered an error message indicating that no electricity was flowing through the gel, which prevented me from continuing the experiment. | |||

<u>Introduction</u> | |||
Electrophoresis was performed under constant UV light and the movement of the dna was filmed live. Experiments with DNA Ladder. | |||

Under constant UV light, the DNA becomes increasingly blurry. I feel that it is not against the artistic message of this work that the DNA gradually disappears as an inherent property during the experiment. |
