Kevin Slavin works at the crossing of biology and art. Here, Slavin introduces us to the emerging investigative field of “urban metagenomics.” The reduction in costs of DNA sequencing has opened up new possibilities for the mapping of non-human microbiotes which compose and hybridise our bodies and environments. Slavin underlines the poetry in this unsuspected bacterial landscape.
