“common ground” is a participatory installation, creating a space in which the attendee can connect with the micro-algae Euglena Gracilis, through the shared experience of sonic frequencies. The installation consists of a dimly lit room, where E. Gracilis cells can be seen as projections, magnified through a microscope, as well as in shallow glass bowl, which stand on pedestals, that are spread around the room. Through the room vibrate sonic waves in form of musical drones. The participator is invited to watch their own inner reaction to the stimulant. The reaction of Euglena is left open and up to interpretation, trying to show the expectations a visitor might have about seeing the other beings react, instead of watching their own reactions. | “common ground” is a participatory installation, creating a space in which the attendee can connect with the micro-algae Euglena Gracilis, through the shared experience of sonic frequencies.
