Planet of Physarum Polycephalum

//Project Description

In this project, by growing and culturing a unicellular organism — Physarum Polycephalum, the growth process and growth patterns were recorded through camera. The tiny single-celled organism developed from very small baby to lush and strong by consuming food on blue agar balls, and eventually become sick and wilt.

In the detailed documentation of the cultivation process, the reader is expected to browse not only aesthetic images, but also to understand the metaphorical earth in which humans live.

//Further Idea

Based on the first stage of cultivating the slime mold and recording its growth pattern at each life stage, a further idea emerged: to scan the slime mold at different stages through photogrammetry, then import the obtained 3D model into the game engine in order to get an immersive experience, allowing the audience to observe the slime mold closer.

-Physarum Polycephalum, this unicellular organism that survives by constantly crawling for food, reminds me of us humans, in a way, by constantly working to get better living conditions. I was amazed by the growth rate of this slime mould and its desire for food. So my first idea is to create an „Earth“ of their own. After placing it on the agar dishes for the first time in BioLab, I brought it back to the student apartment to start feeding and observing it.

+'''IV Initial Project Idea and Sketch'''
-.10.2021 // The first night in the student apartment, this unicellular organism started to spread its tentacles towards food. I also recorded its meal through time-lapse video. As I tried time-lapse in BioLab for the first time during the day, the wrong camera perspective led to a poor observation. So I chose plate #3 alone and left it in the kitchen to record for about ten hours.

+'''VI Final Results'''
+==//PDF Documentation==
-.10.2021, Morning // The slime mold in plate #3 spread out and I found by chance that its texture looked like a tree ;)) I wondered if the slime mold would appear to have a more regular texture if the food was positioned more regularly.

-If slime mould crawls all over the sphere, I would like to design it as a device to interact with people.[[File:Slime2ndSketch.JPG|200px|thumb|right|further idea & sketch]]
