Hello Minimi!
My name is Smin Kim. I'm studying in Bauhaus University Weimar Master course, Media art and design. living and working in Weimar. Nice to see you here!

Introduction of Bio Lab
Professor Ursula Damm and Maria had the Introduction of Bio Lab in Marienstraße for students and teachers. And also new teacher Miga! in dataflow class joined. I decide to grow Physarum Polycephalum in Argar plate. First of all, i had to make enviroment for my minimi(Polycephalum) in Argar plate. (The Polycephalum can be cultured on 2% water argar, fed oat flakes) Argar should be solide (not liquid) so we had to wait until The argar is solidified. It took time (Approximately One day) Today I learned how to use the Bio lab. and Maria helped me a lot(thank you!) and i was so excited! 05.05.2015
*Good meterial for starting Bio Lab
Short guide Book "Techniques for Studying Bacteria and Fungi" from Carolina Biological Supply Company
you can check Website of Carolina
*Good Site for Euglena Community
you can check Tree of Life web project
*DIYSECT share from Maria!
you can check DIYSECT
*Synthetic aesthetics, Jane Calvert
you can check Synthetic aesthetics
After one week
My little minimi looks like dead... I guess that they are dead because of no water, and no nutrition on it on weekend. And they got a mole in a petry dish. So i try to make another Argar. (200ml, 2g argar powder) Now it getting to solid. 12.05.2015 16:00uhr
Try again Physarum
finally
Bio Game Project
Inspiration
This is NEW idea! it would be more easy understand, just imagine Euglenida instade of mushroom. (BIG Euglenida!)

Phototaxis, directional swimming towards the light, is a widespread behaviour in marine plankton. About 80% of all marine invertebrates with a dispersing larval stage show positive phototaxis at the beginning of the dispersal phase. Following this positive phototactic stage, older larvae often become negatively phototactic. We study the mechanisms of both positive and negative phototaxis in Platynereis and other marine invertebrate larvae.

<<For the first time in history, researchers at the Max Plankton Institute in the Netherlands have recorded piano music practised by a common water flea.
First light of the phenomenon was obtained using darkfield microscopy>>
Concept
All in all i would like to make a small game, main purpose is how to grow small 'Organisum' or how to develop species. It mieght be simple interface (only two button)
Pressed Button means that User decide ENVIROMENT. Depending on User's decision, the Organisum or species can alive or die.
and User can choose one of Button. User can see how difficult develop US! (inculde human...in Evolutionary way)
This is NEW idea Diagram! Main purpose is INTERACTIVE WITH EUGLENA which are Human size.
Functional cycle
The relations beween subject and object are best shown by the diagram of the functional cycle. If this illustrates how the subject and the object are dovetailed into one another, to constitute a systematic whole. If we further consider that a subject is related to the same or to different objects bt several functional cycle, we shall gain insight into the first Principle of Umwelt thory: all animals, from the simplest to the most complex, are fitted into their unique worlds with equal completeness. A simple world corresponds to a simple animal, a well-articulated world to a complex one. --Jakob von Uexküll, 11page, a Stroll Through the Worlds of Animals and Men
The whole rich world around the Tick shrinks and changes into a scanty framework consisting, in essence, of three receptor cues and three effector cues - her Umwelt. --Jakob von Uexküll, 12page, a Stroll Through the Worlds of Animals and Men
