Abstract
Because of the synergy between computational advances, neuroscience, and biological understanding, we can now begin to manipulate living systems on a level with our ability to manipulate physical and chemical systems. This synergy will have a direct effect on our relatively new digital asset technologies. The serious problems of the ephemeral nature of digital records will inevitably be supplanted by technology influenced by the biosciences. A carbon-based solution to storage media might radically change the digital preservation and asset strategies of emulation and/or migration of data. Because this is a revolution in our understanding of the nervous system and its environment, the revolution will work both ways — from culture to science as well as from science to culture — as we incorporate the application of these discoveries back into the creative process and the technologies that support them.
