My collaborator Darren Zhu, a synthetic biologist and creative technologist, sent me a paper a couple of years ago by Stanford researcher Muyuan Chen about rendering full protein structures inside Unreal Engine. That was a major moment in my intellectual life.

Wendi Yan, Wendi Yan & Karyn Nakamura on the Artifice of Knowledge
