This installation work consists of two parts. | |||
The first part is lichen with transferred photography on the stone. Images show a human’s body and fragile emotion. When lichen grows up many years, they might grow above, break images. Yes, it is a long term work, when viewers see it happen. But in daily life, viewers notice that human share with lichen or other organisms certain time but the different scale of time. | |||
The second part is the vibrated water that under the stone. Water is vibrated by the sound wave which comes from the speaker under the water bowl. The sound is affected by data which recorded outside of environment or particular data in human society. (working with Minsoo Hwang) This vibration of water also provides good environmental conditions (humidity and air circulation) to help to grow lichen. | |||
Very slow lichen's growth is a big problem to make an interactive installation.
However paradoxically speaking, it is an interesting aspect to understanding, how we are different but also we live together certain time and spaces. In human's perspective, lichen grows up too slow, but in their perspective, we are too fast to live and die. | |||

A lichen is a composite organism that algae or (and) cyanobacteria living together in fungus. algae or (and) cyanobacteria produce food for fungus by photosynthesis. And fungus protect algae or (and) cyanobacteria from the environment, fungus gather also moisture and nutrition from the environment. They have a good symbiotic relationship. | |||
Lichens occur from sea level to high alpine elevations, in a very wide range of environmental conditions, and can grow on almost any surface. Different kinds of lichens have adapted to survive in some of the most extreme environments on Earth: arctic tundra, hot dry deserts, rocky coasts, and toxic slag heaps. They can even live inside solid rock, growing between the grains. Some lichens do not grow on anything, living out their lives blowing about the environment. It is estimated that 6% of Earth's land surface is covered by lichen. | |||

====distinguish points of Lichen==== | |||
<br> | |||
1. Lichen can live a vary wide range of environmental conditions. They can grow on almost any surface. Different kinds of lichen have adapted to survive in the most extreme ecological conditions. Even they can survive in space station outside of earth. | |||
2. Lichen takes up a huge amount of carbon dioxide from the air which is released by the burning of forests and other biomass. Max Planck institute of Chemistry discovers that lichens, mosses and algae take up approximately 14 billion tons of carbon dioxide and fix approximately 50 million tons of Nitrogen per year. The especially huge amount of Nitrogen fixed by them and nitrogen is often limiting nutrients all around world especially dry regions. Thus Nitrogen is one of the important nutrient for the ecosystem. [1] | |||
3. Lichen often has extremely slow growth rate of less than a millimeter per year. Different lichen species have been measured to grow as slowly as 0.5 mm per year and as fast as 50 centimeters per year [2] | |||
4. Distinct physical mechanisms by which lichens break down the raw stone, recent studies indicate lichens attack stone chemically, entering newly chelated minerals into the ecology. [3] | |||

===Methods=== | |||
====Method1 : Transfer gel medium==== | |||
The Acrylic Gel Lift/Transfer is a process with many stages, ultimately enabling the artist to apply their photographic work to a wide variety of surfaces. The process entails the creation of a positive print, applying acrylic gel to the print, curing the gel, soaking the gel coated print, removing the paper backing, then applying the final suspended ink to a new surface. This exercise will illustrate the non-traditional acrylic side down version of the process that has been developed as a way to further control and manipulate the photograph. It celebrates the old transfer aesthetic of being a reverse of the original capture and allows more manipulation of the ink side before it is sealed. Although it may require more work, patience and care than other transfer processes, it is a wonderful variation and has its own unique aesthetic quality. | |||

<br> | <br> | ||
====How to make it?==== | |||
<br> | <br> | ||
1. Clean the rock | |||
2. Gesso is not necessary for the transfer here, it just adds tooth and depth. | |||
You can use watered down white paint. Let it dry. | |||
3. Use a Transfer gel or Splendid Blender pen. | |||
Other blender pens dont have the same chemical composition, and wont work. | |||
4. Make a laser, toner based copy of the image you want to use. Ink jet copies do not work. | |||
5. Place the copy face down on the rock. | |||
6. Rub the Transfer gel or pen over the image, while keeping the paper stable. | |||
If it slides around, you will get a blurry image. Press hard till the image transfers. | |||
7. Make sure you have lots of ventilation when using the Transfer gel or pen. | |||

The Miller-Urey Experiment
What Was The Miller-Urey Experiment?
<videoflash type=YouTube>NNijmxsKGbc?list=PL75310AD28DB37A33</videoflash> Made by Stated Clearly http://statedclearly.com/
The Miller-Urey experiment was the first attempt to scientifically explore ideas about the origin of life. Stanley Miller simulated conditions thought be common on the ancient Earth. The purpose was to test the idea that the complex molecules of life (in this case, amino acids) could have arisen on our young planet through simple, natural chemical reactions.
The idea was to simulate hypothetical conditions thought to be present on the early Earth (Hadean or early Archaean). It was a test of the chemical origins of life. Specifically, the experiment tested Alexander Oparin's and J.B.S. Haldane's hypothesis that conditions on the primitive Earth favored chemical reactions that synthesized organic compounds from inorganic precursors. Considered to be the classic experiment on the origin of life, it was conducted in 1952 and published in 1953 by Stanley Miller and Harold Urey at the University of Chicago.
After Miller's death in 2007, scientists examined sealed vials preserved from the original experiments. They were able to show that there were well over 20 different amino acids produced in Miller's original experiments. That is considerably more than those Miller originally reported, and more than the 20 that naturally occur in life.

Die Antwort vom Fachchemiker
Zu Punkt 3 muss ich recht unverschämt und auch unhöflich zurück fragen: was haben Sie als Studentin für eine Ausbildung ? Bio oder Bioart ist was anderes als chemische Experimente, noch dazu mit potentiell gefährlichen Substanzen. ich gehe davon aus, dass das erst mal nicht bei Dir daheim stattfinden soll - davon muss ich massiv und entschieden abraten !!! hat die Bauhaus Uni überhaupt irgendwelche chemische Labors ?? nochmals: Bio und Bioart haben NICHTS mit chemischen Experimenten zu tun !! "sicher" kann man das Experiment nur machen, wenn fachkundige Leute damit am Werk sind und die die passenden Labors und Apparaturen dazu haben grundsätzlich hand habt man hier entweder hochgiftige, korrosive oder potentiell explosive Ausgangssubstanzen (mit Kohlenmonoxid kann man Lebewesen umbringen) wenn man das Experiment wirklich hinbekommt, muss die entstandene "Suppe" auch noch analysiert werden, dazu braucht es Maschinen und Menschen die das können. meine persönliche Meinung ist noch: wenn man das Experiment wiederholt und gefahrlos übersteht, ist die Suppe auf jeden Fall anders zusammen gesetzt generell würde ich nur abraten davon, andere haben das schon gemacht und außer Gefahr beim Umgang damit kommt nichts raus, was gewinnbringend ist; organische Produkte sind möglicherweise ein Ausgangspunkt aber noch kein Leben. Ich finde, dass man mit Bioart schönere Sachen machen kann. Entschuldigung wenn es etwas heftig war, entspricht aber der Reaktion in dem 'geplanten' Reaktor.
I would get advice from Korean students of the Faculty of Biology and Pharmacy, Friedrich-Schiller-University Jena.
