GMU:I, Organism, and Feedback Loops/César Felipe Daher: Difference between revisions

The idea is to create a hidden environment that can be discovered by interacting with bioluminescent Algae. The project’s main object is a transparent tank filled with the algae in the appropriate medium, as part of a miniature artificial environment. The box will be placed inside a dark chamber so that when a person pours water on the box through a dripping mechanism, the algae will glow and reveal the inner environment.  

The idea of dripping water on the tank comes mainly from the idea of rain as a natural phenomena that could familiar to both humans and algae. It is also an attempt to interact with the algae in a more respectful and gentle way, unlike many installations that attempt to make them glow through unusual means, such as sound vibration. With this sort of interaction, the viewers can experience their beauty without disturbing them too much, and in a way in which they can glow for longer.
