I would like to focus on capturing microbial elements found in the local landscape of Weimar. I am also intended in designing a micro/macro landscape in virtual/mixed reality. My first idea for the course is to seize, grasp, shape, model and render regional microbial life of local area. I would like to culture mixed microbial habitats and observe their distribution and development in transparent containers. A VR experience that captures the micro/macro habitat of the area will be the second part of the work. | I would like to focus on capturing microbial elements found in the local landscape of Weimar.

I would start by collecting samples from land, water and mud and investigate the microbial population such as bacteria, nematodes, fungi, algae. Then, I would start cultivating the microorganisms to a point where they become visible to humans without the aid of a microscope. The scientific way of capturing microorganisms includes isolating them in petri dishes then using a variety of microscopy techniques. Alternative to petri dishes, I would like to use Winogradsky Column style tubes or spherical containers to create a small ecosystem. | I would start by collecting samples from land, water and mud and investigate the microbial population such as bacteria, nematodes, fungi, algae.
