The installation aims for creating a space for inter-special connection in-between human and E. Gracilis, a connection which would not naturally happen, because humans and microorganisms have fundamentally different ways of experiencing reality. The ways how we perceive the world almost never overlap, even though we share the same space of living. “a_common_ground” does not indent to create a inter-special communication, but instead to create a place, where different forms of being can experience their reality in their natural way. We humans tend to create hierarchies of higher and lesser beings, based on different ways of perceiving, “a_common_ground” gives the room to experience reality as equals. | The installation aims for creating a space for inter-special connection in-between human and E.

The installation will have live transmitted video of the organisms and an immersive or stereo sound system. The drone music, monotonic frequencies without melodies or rhythm, will be played from a recording. The visitors and the euglina, have both the same stimulant, to which they do, or don't react. The magnification of euglena will be projected on natural fabrics, instead of screens or white walls, to give the video a less digital and more natural feeling. | |||
