The audience enters a pitch-black room with thousands of invisible organisms floating above their heads in a skylight aquarium. They’re invited to speak, and if they do their voice drops to a chant-like rumbling sound that excites the bioluminescent dinoflagellates into illuminating. Their blue glow mimics the shape of the sound waves in the water. Therefore, if you ask, “what’s the shape of water?”, the dinoflagellates will tell you.
This system will trigger DNA transcribed audio, specifically the sequence that produces bioluminescence [the luciferous enzyme]. The dinoflagellates will bioluminescence in accordance to their own DNA.
