Then, I would observe the microorganisms to a point where they become visible to humans without the aid of a microscope. The scientific way of capturing microorganisms includes isolating them in petri dishes then using a variety of microscopy techniques. Alternative to petri dishes, I would like to use Winogradsky Column style tubes or spherical containers to create a small ecosystem. | ||
Capturing, framing a living presence, activity, growth, metabolism, reproduction would be the first section of my work. I would also like to propose a hybrid approach by designing a landscape in virtual space. The idea of VR relates the invisibility of the microscopic to the incomprehensibility of the virtual. In the VR, the microscopy images can be used for the creation of the terrain. 3D scanning of the macro environment surrounded by the landscape can be used as point cloud. Laser scanning, photogrammetry techniques can be used to capture the macro habitat such as plants, trees, monuments, or small hills. It is important to recognize that all the plant activity is very much based on the microorganisms, they are keeping the planet going. The project captures microbial life into containers and virtual reality provides new visualizations of experiences by expanding the vision and frame | Capturing, framing a living presence, activity, growth, metabolism, reproduction would be the first section of my work.
