The New Chamber Opera project will examine issues in contemporary genomics and bioinformatics, including concepts of sequencing, cloning, and probability models. The project team will examine the language and symbolism within these subjects, and attempt to locate them within wider discourses in cultural history, literary history and the history of science. The opera has a working title of Hidden States.
