It was important to replace oat flakes , wich have been used in almost every experimentation with Slime mould and in this manner develop an aesthetic that allows us to appreciate the organism structure and its ways of displacement and behaviour in different environments. | It was important to replace oat flakes , wich have been used in almost every experimentation with Slime mould and in this manner develop an aesthetic that allows us to appreciate the organism structure and its ways of displacement and behaviour in different environments. | ||
During the experimentation the interaction of Physarum with nutrients with high levels in proteins and carbohydrates was more and more remarkable. Its response to these nutrients showed that there is the possibility of training the Slime mould up to three generations so that it prefers to feed on a type of nutrient and displace it self through patterns drawn with this nutrient. Achieving this process there is the possibility of removing the organism from its purely biological context and getting it to become a pictorial tool. | During the experimentation the interaction of Physarum with nutrients with high levels in proteins and carbohydrates was more and more remarkable.

Achieving this process there is the possibility of removing the organism from its purely biological context and getting it to become a pictorial tool. Not just its recognition and search of the food source but also this combined with the interaction with light, build suitable aesthetics to work with in the Animation and Multimedia area. This six months experimentation allows to have a base of knowledge in the potencials of Slime Mold for further projects. | ||
