In this research work, we seek to analyse some aspects of the visual poetry of the multimedia and pop artist, Arnaldo Antunes, in light of the poem “cromossoms”, which is part of the series known as “nada de dna”, i.e, “no dna”, found in the book n.d.a., from 2010. Delineating in an analogous way the logic of gene storage in a DNA molecule, the “chromosomes” graphic design allows it to gather, from its circular anatomy, various information of micro and macrocosm content, which are embedded in the arrangement of their characters. In this sense, in this study, the composition is regarded as a unifying body of poetic themes, features, brands, singularities, and reading dynamics that are present in Antunes’s other works, spaces, and segments, as well as that of his predecessors. Taking these aspects into consideration, we seek to present some of the main records of visual poetry that preceded the author’s heterogeneous repertoire. Later, we offer an overview of the artist’s work, taking into consideration the most significant areas in which the poet marks his entries. Moreover, we enter the field of biology to focus on the genetic aspect, turning our attention to chromosomes components, genes and DNA. Subsequently, considering the phrase “no DNA”, in whose enunciation we depict the rejection of a deterministic order, often found in the scientific field, we seek to examine the contents of that denial process, which is also present in the literary context, since the poet refuses to acknowledge any inheritance links and affiliation in relation to his peers. Finally, based on psychoanalysis concepts, semiotic elements, intertextual resources, and also on data collected from works that were carried out throughout this research, we conclude that Antunes’s compositions – although they are sometimes marked by an apparent refusal of the genetic genealogy order – are affected in some ways by codes, and by a number of inscriptions that he inherited from his predecessors.
