The Babylon project started with my fascination with the simplicity that underlies sequences of only 4 compounds that make up DNA and a limited number of rules for translating genes into proteins. The enormous diversity of life on our planet shares those simple rules.

It is also about problems that our society is currently facing. It is becoming more and more difficult to distinguish between fact and fake. It seems as if we have lost sight of the underlying principles of communication that are reminiscent of a Babylonian confusion of tongues. The Babylon Project is a quest for simple structures and rules that underlie our lives and our society.
