*If I cover a glass receptacle with a dark medium, let’s say black, nontransparent paper, and cut out a shape to let light in, will the organisms accumulate there and fill this shape? | *If I cover a glass receptacle with a dark medium, let’s say black, nontransparent paper, and cut out a shape to let light in, will the organisms accumulate there and fill this shape? | ||

My project which I try to implement will be a picture made of Euglenas. If it is possible to move the organisms to places and in shapes I want (and eventuelly create contrasts) this should be realizable. But first I need to find out which options I have and where the borders of this idea are. The following experiments and the documentation of my work shall give an overview. | |||
In case of success the outcome will be a kind of installation or at least a piece which lasts for only a few minutes. | |||

'''Setup:''' I filled a tube with the Euglena medium (capacity: 15ml) and added about ten drops of Euglenas. To make the light colorful I cut out three stripes of transparent paper and wrapped them around the tube. I chose the fundamental colors yellow, red and blue. | '''Setup:''' I filled a tube with the Euglena medium (capacity: 15ml) and added about ten drops of Euglenas.

As a comparison I also prepared a tube without any paper. | |||
