An early testing space for playing around with proteins, the PDB (Protein Data Bank) has a wide, growing range of 3D models of proteins available for study and manipulation. I imported these structures into the design engine Unity and tried to visualize how they might interact with each other. I was thinking more about the ‘primordial pool’ concept- very early in the Earth’s lifespan, rock pools in and around oceans were hotbeds of organic chemical activity. With simulation being a new, important facet of my practice, I was inspired to try and get them colliding, to distill essentially what may have gone on in the pools.
