This object is part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design collection.

A carbon-fiber robot in the shape of a small insect. Two small wings made of a clear film stretch outward in opposite direcitons. Thin legs come off the robot -- three extend outward toward the viewer and a fourth leg on the other side of the robot extends in the opposite direction. At the end of the four legs are very small, grey feet, resembling a tufted ball of fabric. A head, also deriving appearance from a small tuft of grey fabric, faces away from the viewer, in a similar direction as the fourth leg.

A subterranean water reserve and a centered wooden planked walkway with ropes on each side. Three large lanes supported by archways are aligned in depth with an art installation at center. A lush bright green grass landscape emits moisture under a large rectangular glass piece with natural light streaming on the installation causing an atmospheric event in an aqua hue.

NATURE.047

Digital image of a matrix of blue, red, yellow, green, orange and black dots arranged in an irregular plaid pattern, with mostly blue and green dots on either side of the matrix and mostly red, orange and red in its middle. A few points seem trickling away at the bottom of the matrix. There is no explanation of the significance of the different dot colors. There are more columns than rows, so the matrix appears as a wide rectangle. A legend on the left (title: Taxonomic depth) indicates that each row in the matrix represents a different type of bacteria. The legend consists of several bars next to each other (in a gradation of colors from light yellow to magenta) that show the classification of bacteria in its hierarchical subdividision. A bar next to most rows reads “Bacteria” (yellow); on its right, a light orange bar is split in “Proteobacteria”, “Actinobacteria” and others; Proteobacteria is further subdivided in the next bar (dark orange), in “Alphaproteobacteria” and “Betaproteobacteria”, and so forth. Thus the legend indicates that rows in the matrix are clustered according to the scientific classification of bacteria, so that rows next to each other represent bacteria that are more closely related on an evolutionary scale. A diagonally aligned text at the top of each column creates the illusion of depth and, although the font is very small and hardly readable, appears to indicate that each column represents a different gene product (a specific protein). Overall, the impression gained is that of a summary of genetic diversity within a sample of bacteria, organized both according to the type of bacteria (rows) and the diversity of specific metabolic functions (columns) identified within the sample. Above the matrix is a general title of the visualization: 'Thiocyanate bioreactor genome summary. High density genome summary matrix linked to a phylogenetic hierarchy'.
