Loïc Royer unveiled his first digital media art installation, "The ESM Protein Universe," visualizing 7.7 million protein families derived from 6.8 billion sequenced sequences. The piece spans a 16×16 ft wall at the Biohub AI × Bio Summit held at the Old Mint in San Francisco. Yann LeCun amplified the post — a striking fusion of AI for Science and data art.
