 Technical solution - how to produce Physarum clothes
-To create Physarum clothing pieces, the Physarum has to be grwon on plastic foil. The foil is then pressed on the fabric by placing weight on the Physarum/the foil. After a week the Physarum is dried and the clothing is ready to wear.

-Comments
-"Jesses Synopsis"
-The buildup:
-. The first part is an attempt to apply physarum polycephalum to a piece of fabric, to study it’s adaptive qualities and possible usage for fashion. The slime mold is capable of inhabiting a fabric just as any other environment. This allows for creative and sustainable applications of fashion clothing.
-. The other part is an environment for a performance. The performer and the slime mold are present as equals and will come together for a dining experience, eating a meal of oat flakes each in their preferred way.
-the concept:
-. For one, a living organism, applied to piece of clothing that is wearable is a fresh impulse for fashion design. It’s sustainable and degradable characteristics are a strong counterpoint to the synthetic, exploitative and wasteful handling of resources by the fashion industry. The whole is a proposition towards a more sustainable and mindful way for humans to live and dress. 2. The performance is an empathetic approach to the connections and common traits between humans and slime molds. The informal setting of a shared meal makes a point to show the community of all life, beyond the borders of species
-==Project idea(s)==
-'''1.Inside and outside we are the same - Living in Physarums world
-'''
-As a project i want to create a performance which will picture similarities Physarum and humans share and how they can interact and coexist. A person and the Physarum will share a table, clothes and food. The person is sitting at a table, eating some oatmeal. The Physarum will be placed on the table. The person is eating oatmeal and will feed some of the oatfklakes to the Physarum from time to time. The love to oats is something Physarum Polycephalum and humans have in common.
-The performance shows how much the lives of Physarum and a person can be entangled and how they can share room and even a meal
-Following thechnical things will be necessary for the installtation:
-Figuering out how to place the Physarum on the table: in a petri dish? Growing on the table? Etc.
+'''Growing Physarum on fabric:'''
-How long will the person have to sit on the table für the Physarum to "eat" some of the oaflakes?

 - fabric placed on Physarum and then overgrown with Physarum (the best reult so far)
+In the end, i decided to grow the Physarum on plastic foil which is then placed on the fabric instead of letting the Physarum grow directly on the fabric. After a week the Physarum is dry and the clothing is ready to be worn.
