Info

Digital DNA is a public art project commissioned by the Palo Alto Public Arts Commission for Lytton Plaza in Downtown Palo Alto, California. It was created by Adriana Varella and Nilton Malz and installed in 2005. Digital DNA addresses complicated themes of technology and public space in Silicon Valley.
Digital DNA recognizes Palo Alto (indeed, the HP garage) as the birthplace of the Silicon Valley and the computer revolution. At the same time, the sculpture poses challenging questions about what it means to live and work in the Silicon Valley where every day companies determine and produce new technologies and make decisions that profoundly change the DNA of both it and every other society on the globe.
