Digital DNA is a public art sculpture commissioned by the Palo Alto Public Arts Commission for Lytton Plaza in Downtown Palo Alto, California. It was created by Adriana Varella and Nilton Malz and installed in 2005.[1] The words have faded a bit over the years, but the City is pondering a restoration of it.
Circuit adjectives
The adjectives imbue the logic of the circuitry with the emotion and other political, social or behavioral adjectives. These phrase are written in a variety of languages such as Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Polish, Russian, German, Arabic, Indy, Philippine, Portuguese, French, Italian, Spanish, Hebrew and binary representation. The color is noted to help identify the board. Duplicates are noted. A question mark denotes lines that have yet to be properly translated.
Dividing the egg into four quadrants according to the clock (looking from above), and listing top-to-bottom, the adjectives are, at noon (near the DIGITAL DNA title board): cooperative, ideological, timeless, programmed, globalizing, genetic, timeless, warfare
