Latent Figure Protocol (LFP) is an installation and a live science experiment that uses DNA samples to create readable, representational images. Several times throughout the festival artist Paul Vanouse will come to his bio art lab in the HacKaWay Zone, talking about his work and performing the experiment. Each time the results are recorded and can be watched until the fluorescence of the DNA eventually fades out for the process to be repeated.
