Hugebrow (Human Genome Browser)

The DuKode Studio focuses on creative data transposition to many forms, including software, animation, print, and physical objects. We have collaborated with nonprofits, think tanks, artists, educational publishers, pop stars, government agencies, scientists, and sociologists. In recent years, we've focused on creative technology and STEM education in historically underrepresented, marginalized and incarcerated communities, working with groups in North America, Africa, Europe, and Asia.

Our current production is an award-winning sci-fi arthouse animation+audio series called "The Great Tit is a Bird" (TGTIAB). TGTIAB follows Black and Brown femme and trans folks around the world, the losses they survive, and the ways they shape our high-tech era even as they are pushed to the margins. TGTIAB explores issues its creators have witnessed firsthand, including techno-colonization, research misconduct, gender-based exploitation, and threats to bodily autonomy and integrity.
