The goal is to create an hourglass as one of the oldest technological, linear timepieces which form a habitat for Euglenas natural, circular rhythms of time. Euglena is a microorganism that does photosynthesis and therefore is attracted by light. In my experiments, I study this phototaxis (orientation by light). For doing so I try to influence their behavior in relation to different light situations. | The goal is to create an hourglass as one of the oldest technological, linear timepieces which form a habitat for Euglenas natural, circular rhythms of time.

==How to read Euglena Time== | |||
Euglena clock deals with the theory of different time systems. It is a homage to time as a relative measure and the organic, circular rhythm of natural time. | |||
Therefore it cannot be "read" in the traditional way. It is more of a tool to experience time as a fluid matter and to be conscious of its flow. | |||
Similarly to the way, people estimated time by following the sun's path, long before the invention of technological time-measuring instruments, you can read euglena time by observing different states of green and decide by experience when it is time to switch it over. | |||
