I wrote a slashdot post on this very subject back in March 2006 http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=179975&cid=149 07572 as follows;

I have been for a while sketching out a musical idea to use the number sequence of PI to generate a theoretically 'never ending' melody (decimal can be converted to Hex or any number to fit any scale) and the human DNA sequence (ATCGDP) as the trigger for rhythm section instruments with a human heart beat to set the tempo.

I thought this would make a great interactive (the heartbeat can be from the hand of a listener on a sensor) 'musical statue' in a public place and stream the midi data or something similar.

I haven't had time to develop this past the theory, or to develop a clear philosophical reason for the work (otherwise it will not appeal to the art world) but any collaboration would be welcomed.

I guess I should have run to the patent office rather than post on a public forum!

Submission + - 'Kryptonite' Discovered in Serbian Mine

Rubinstien writes: A mineralogist at London's Natural History Museum was contracted to help identify an unknown mineral found in a Serbian mine. After its crystal structure was analyzed and identified, the researcher was shocked to find the material already referenced in literature. Says Dr. Chris Stanley, "Towards the end of my research I searched the web using the mineral's chemical formula — sodium lithium boron silicate hydroxide — and was amazed to discover that same scientific name, written on a case of rock containing kryptonite stolen by Lex Luther from a museum in the film Superman Returns." "I'm afraid it's not green and it doesn't glow either — although it will react to ultraviolet light by fluorescing a pinkish-orange," he told BBC News. More details can be found in the BBC News article.
