5 sentences on the idea
The goal of the project is to examine mosses microscopically and process them poetically. The examination will be documented visually in the Biolab (through microscopy). The exciting moment arises when the visual recordings are accompanied by self written texts. For this purpose, it is important to work not only aesthetically but also in terms of content and to document various states of the mosses (the dehydration process would be particularly interesting). Dehydration of Mosses: mirror dehydration of mosses + adapt the shown texts in speed, size and color, ... according to: #Dehydration typically leads to the loss of water from the plant cells, causing the moss to shrink and become dry and brittle. During dehydration, the metabolic activity of the moss slows down significantly, and the moss enters a state of dormancy or desiccation tolerance to conserve energy and survive harsh conditions. As the moss loses water, its tissues may contract, and its surface may appear wrinkled or shriveled. Dehydration can also cause the moss to change color, often becoming darker or more dull as water content decreases. Despite appearing lifeless when dehydrated, many moss species have adaptations that allow them to quickly rehydrate and resume metabolic activity once water becomes available again. This ability to enter a dormant state and revive when conditions are favorable is crucial for the survival of mosses in dry environments.#
5 sentences on tech solution
Software: TouchDesigner Instruments + Objects: Biolab, Microscope, Camera, Mosses (various, but mainly collected at Park an der Ilm to keep the work local). Analogously and self written texts will be implemented and shown in sequences (programmes with LFOs) Presented via Projection; interactive (UI); to allow people to experience different states of the mosses (dehydration) changing simultaneously with varying texts. Lets face challenges. For example audio. :-)
