'''What can you do with it?''' The installation is made for experimenting with Euglena in connection with light, colors and shapes. People who are interested can use it for playing around and turn their pictures into a very different form of drawing. I think it is especially interesting because you can control the development of the outcome not completely. At some point you need to give up the control over your artwork and let Euglena surprise you. You can draw your very own picture, convert it into a mask and receive an Euglena based drawing as outcome. By taking a photo before the artwork fades, you can create a visual memory which can also be printed (e.g. on linen) as art print. | '''What can you do with it?'''

===Working artistically with Euglena=== | ===Working artistically with Euglena=== | ||
Sharing a room with Euglena for a whole semester gave me a lot of inspiration - how this organism works, how simple and difficult is is at once and what methods I can use to build a bridge between our livings. | |||
The fact that Euglena is able to do photosynthesis opens so many doors which can be used to find artistic ways to work with microorganisms. | |||
As someone who never did something like this before I am very excited about the process and the outcome. Even though I struggled at the beginning with breeding Euglena I found my workflow and finally managed to develop an idea and to be happy with the result. | |||
