Description
This course is designed as an introduction to work with live tissues, bacteria, cellular organisms and other forms demonstrating life-like processes, including crystal growing and automata patterns. The weekly seminar is split into two parts: theoretical and practical. During the theoretical part, we will discuss artworks in relation to BioArt, and the practical part will involve work with organisms.
Work with organisms (bacteria, physarum, euglena, amoeba, algae, molds, plants, etc) in the biolab will focus on the analysis of living systems and their relations to habitat. Living and non-living systems will be considered while sensing and recording their shifts with the help of microscopes and cameras, analysing and interacting with them while bridging with electronics and computers, and sharing and documenting experiments online and on paper.
Grading
20 % Theory
50 % Work in lab
30 % Documentation including 10% of updates in Wiki
Eligible Participants
Undergraduates and graduates enrolled in the faculties of Media and Design.
