Project Idea
A social network for microorganisms
We use technology to connect each other. In the last years social media platforms emerged and gained popularity. Is the use of technology limited to humans or is it possible to develop and apply such a network to different worlds. Can technology be used to "talk" or interact with microorganisms and me or humans?
Two cultures of microorganisms are connectet through a camera and lightscources. One organism functions as an influencer that takes over control over the live of the other organism.
Technical solutions
The position and or growing of the physarum is detected by a camera above the dish. To get stable and reliable readings, it is necessary to have a constant lightsource above. The image taken by the camera gets processed and controlls the lights using an arduino microcontroller.
