Workshop Documentations
12-13 April /Growing, Shaping and Living (with) Microalgae
Workshop's Purposes: to find new perspectives on art while gaining new knowledge on the micro biome around us, starting with algae.
The First Exercise, was to familiarize ourselves with various algae types and its uses with a collective research session.
Second, we examined samples of Plactonema and how it behaves with sunlight and in darker atmospheres.
The one left in the dark wasn't able to use its ability to photosynthesize and float to the top with oxygen it created. But the one left in the sunlight did.
Potential Project Idea:
Seeing the sculptable conditions the alginate gives to any liquid stored inside (as seen in pictures above) while also being non-toxic to humans can be used in a sculpture project. A series of layered creatures can be created. These creatures can be filled with liquids that react under different lighting conditions. Layers can be assembled in various ways to make the exhibition intractable.
28-29 April /DNA analysis
20-21 May /Nanopore sequencing
- Lists for the protocol used to extract DNA from Plactonema and to load them into the sequencing machine which will match our DNA to the library of the Flow Cell Machine.
