In the context of synthetic biology, DNA storage technology is developing rapidly in order to cope with the crisis of data security and storage. However, when DNA, as the key information of biological heredity, is involved by digital information, the boundary between digital information and biology is broken, and "life" will be reconstructed again. We around "when stored DNA synthetic biology, such as breaking the lives of the border, the life will appear what kind of shape" this problem, with a sound interactive dialogue relationship, at the same time build on audio-visual "Mosaic" life, sounds and images in the interaction become more "aphasia", in order to lead people to think about the relationship between man and nature, information, and life.

This work combines biological gene data with the evolution of biological cells, and edits gene sequence and generated music in real time through on-site sound collection. Finally, the on-site sound and generated music are mapped to the biological vision generated by GAN, and the rhythm, color and action of the cell picture generated by AI are controlled to form a visual representation of sound. Present the future life state of "life" and "matter + information" based on molecules and data.
In the sound design of the device, it adopts the docking method of music host software Ableton Live11 and interactive software Max, through which various MIDI data are sent to Live in real time, and the instruments and effects in Live process these data in real time to sound.
Although these real-time MIDI signals have strong randomness, and their signal content is too single, but through the design of sound form and the processing of various effects can still create a full effect in the sound.
To be specific, six instruments are used in the formation of real-time music, including electric piano, Tom drum and electronic timbre. Among them, electronic Pad timbre is used to produce long line sound effects, while other instruments are processed by particle sound through the Portal effector of Output, so as to form punctate sounds. The combination of dots and lines makes music both atmospheric and content.
