An Interspecies Communication Tool

______________________________________

This research aims to develop an installation allowing a feedback loop conversation between a performer and Bioluminescent Algae (as shown on the schema below). It has two main parts:

The first one is to capture the motion of the performer and translate it into disturbance in the water to activate the phytoplankton.
The second part is to capture the light emitted by the plankton and translate it into sounds in order to feed the performer's movements.

Project

As part of my Projektmodul Art and Biomedia: agencies of being, I am working on creating a platform where a human can perform a social interaction with Bioluminescent Algae ('Pyrocystis Fusiformis') by the forms of sound and movement.

-As part of my Projektmodul ''Art and Biomedia: agencies of being'', I am working on creating a platform where the viewer can perform a social interaction with a different specie; a dance between human and plancton.
+'''______________________________________'''
-Dance is a powerful communication tool as it breaks the language barrier. It demands a mutual respect from both parties, but moreover a constant attention to the partner in order to adjust to its movements. It is a form of conversation where both partners have to answer to each other in a symbiotic way. It is for these reasons that I see dance as a metaphor for interspecies communication, for closing the gap between different organisms and bringing an alternative to the human solipsistic supremacy point of view.
