The installation will feature live transmitted video of the organisms under the microscope and a stereo sound system. The drone music, monotonic frequencies without melodies or rhythm, will be played from a recording. The visitors and the euglina, have both the same stimulant, to which they do, or don't react. The magnification of euglena will be projected on natural fabrics, instead of screens or white walls, to give the video a less digital and more natural feeling. These magnifications are used to show what is also happening in the glass bowls that feature Euglena living in their medium. | |||
For me it is importand to show both (what we see with the naked eye, as well as the magnifications) to make visible that we could not even start to understand them in our natural state and to again show the underlying need to understand others, in the human nature. The projection functions as a trigger to set of this instinct, but stands in contrast with the possible non-reactiveness of the cells, that bring the visitor back into their own center of perception. | |||
