GMU:Being a Unicellular Organism/Sinan Kılıç: Difference between revisions

Thus, I will be amplifying the Physarum's size artificially. My spherical Ikea table lamp will hopefully suffice to do this. The resulting projection will only be a shadow across the walls of my room, however I believe shadows can be more intimidating than the thing itself and intimidation is something that I believe contributes to hierarchical formations. Furthermore, with a colored LED, the result also has the potential to be aesthetically pleasing.

Even though the Slime Mold is able to survive in such an incredibly unique way, I feel like we, as humans, subconsciously (or consciously) perceive this organism as a being that is ultimately inferior to us. My goal is to break this hierarchy in some way. As I was trying to explore ways of reversing the interspecific hierarchical pyramid, I am coming to the realisation that one of the reasons why humans see unicellular organisms, which are beyond a doubt the most fundamental members of the earth, lower than themselves, is because of their size. Thus I am looking for a way for equalising our sizes.
