==My relationship with PP== | |||
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding. | Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum.

===Project | ==Farewell PP== | ||
Project | |||
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see. | In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum.
