Perhaps a stretch, but you might be interested in the Nano exhibit at the Los
Angeles County Museum of Art.

Quoting "Ronald E. Rice" <rrice at comm.ucsb.edu>:

> One thing I know of is DNA music.  They take the patterns of the four
> match-up letters in the DNA/RNA, and convert them into musicial notes. Then
> they mix/massage that into sounds, music, etc.  So for instance, you can
> maybe hear diabetes as slightly more discordant than non-diabetes DNA; most
> of the music is ambient, atmospheric.  An interesting twist to this is that
> while DNA sequences cannot be copyrighted, music can. So there have been
> some attempts to take newly identified DNA sequences and copyright them as
> music.
