In this installation, a communication with the organism Physarum Polycephalum is established through light, used as a medium to convey the message; first the information is translated into morse code, and then delivered to the organism using light signals that will pass through the petri dishes and the nourishing medium. The installation consist on a small surface with an integrated light system and living samples placed on top of it, creating a translating device that aims to establish a conversation between human and the organisms. | |||
"Organismus Manifesto" is a draft manifest that tries to tackle the controversial use of living organisms in technological and research fields, and presents some controversial points such as organism rights or exploitation. It tries to reflect the possible questions that might arise when using alive organisms in connection to human and computational machines. | |||

All the wiring for the LEDs stripes and arduino installation is done. The first idea is to power up the whole installation through the arduino board, the LEDs consumption is too hight tough. The LEDs just light up for a few seconds and then turn off or present a random behaviour. The LED striped must be powered up directly from the power bank, sharing the ground with the arduino board. | All the wiring for the LEDs stripes and arduino installation is done.

Started prototyping a device that will translate given messages to morse code, with a light output (LED stripes), that will be placed beneath the petridishes containing samples of Physarum Polycephalum. The arduino code and circuit works already on its first version. An enclosure must be built for next week. | Started prototyping a device that will translate given messages to morse code, with a light output (LED stripes), that will be placed beneath the petridishes containing samples of Physarum Polycephalum.

Some coloured oats are placed on the petridishes, hoping that when the Plycephalum is fed with color, it will take it into the plasmodium and change its own. A timelapse video was taken. Also some samples of Polycephalum and Nose-microbiota sample are placed on new petridishes. | Some coloured oats are placed on the petridishes, hoping that when the Plycephalum is fed with color, it will take it into the plasmodium and change its own.

Beautiful mistakes... all the physarum samples present some kind contamination. Also the petridishes with Armillaria Gallica show contamination, but also shows the sample grew quite a lot. The samples taken from the nose microbiota look just amazing. | Beautiful mistakes... all the physarum samples present some kind contamination.

Physarum Polycephalum samples present contamination and some kind of "hairy" elements. I changed the petri dishes, hoping that some samples will survive. Also some new samples of Armillaria Gallica are placed on new fresh petri dishes. | Physarum Polycephalum samples present contamination and some kind of "hairy" elements.
