Massive Attack's Mezzanine album as DNA-encoded spray paint
IDEA: Encode music into DNA spray paint.
WHAT: 1 million copies of the Mezzanine album encoded in 901'065 DNA sequences, each 146 basepairs long and encapsulated in silicone particles for long-term storage stability. Limited editions of specially commissioned and manufactured aerosols which contain the DNA of Massive Attack's legendary Mezzanine album. Each can of paint is sold in a unique box, and come with a signed 3D instruction certificate.

It’s a creative way to store your back catalogue, although DNA-encoded spray paint is unlikely to be adopted by street artists seeking anonymity. - Robert ‘3D’ Del Naja
WHY: To mark the 20th anniversary of the seminal 1998 album Mezzanine.
