(30 December 1886 – 15 May 1956) was an English artist and occultist who worked as both a draughtsman and a painter. Influenced by symbolism and art nouveau his art was known for its clear use of line, and its depiction of monstrous and sexual imagery.[4] In an occult capacity, he developed idiosyncratic magical techniques including automatic writing, automatic drawing and sigilization based on his theories of the relationship between the conscious and unconscious self.

Then I prepared Agar with nutrients from the FIFTH EXPERIMENT but this time filter it 2 times in order to obtain a transparent agar for aesthetic proposes and experiment with ligth | |||

I placed Physarum on this nutrient and set a line of LEDs below the petri dish. | |||

Conclusion: | |||
1. At first Physarum is avoiding light and creating strong Plasmodial Veins above the light. | |||

2. After 20 Hours of recording Physarum ignores light and moves into the center in search for food. | |||

3. At the end of the recording (80 Hours approx.) Physarum has totally ignored the light and moves to the left in search for food. The Agar with nutrients ist almost dry. | |||

FINAL CONCLUTIONS: | |||
This experiment started as a search of knowledge about the behaviour of Slime mold "Physarum Polycephalum" and its aesthetic capabilities and potential uses in the animation area. First through sound, then through the influence of light and at the end through the combination of different food sources. | |||
It was important to replace oat flakes , wich have been used in almost every experimentation with Slime mould and in this manner develop an aesthetic that allows us to appreciate the organism structure and its ways of displacement and behaviour in different environments. | |||
During the experimentation, the interaction of Physarum and nutrients with high protein and carbohydrates levels was more and more remarkable. Its response to these nutrients showed that there is the possibility of training the Slime mould up to three generations so that it prefers to feed on a type of nutrient and displace it self through patterns drawn with this nutrient. | |||
Achieving this process there is the possibility of removing the organism from its purely biological context and getting it to become a pictorial tool or a performer in a micro scenario. | |||
Not just its recognition and search of the food source but also this combined with the interaction with light, build suitable aesthetics to work with in the Animation and Multimedia area. This six months experimentation allows to have a base of knowledge in the potentials and different contexts of Slime Mould for further projects. |
