We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist). | We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning.

====Workshop==== | |||
Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it. | Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum.

Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate. We placed to flakes at the start of the maze and at the finish and set up a time lapse to see what happened. We took a picture every 8 minutes and checked after 5 days. As it has been quite hot after 3 days the plate dried out and Physarum as well. The salt speeded up the process. See the result in the video below. | Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate.
