:In my final project, I was interested to work with bacterial paper that is generated as a byproduct of the bacteria that lives within Kombucha, a probiotic drink. My first step was to establish an overview of what kind of micororganisms live in the Kombucha culture that Miga brought from Berlin, because cultures, from all over the planet, developed differently after they were passed on from person to person. | :In my final project, I was interested to work with bacterial paper that is generated as a byproduct of the bacteria that lives within Kombucha, a probiotic drink. I tried to generate skins with different properties and my project can be understood as a material study.
