| The main approach would be to set one culture of a microorganism and connect it to other microorganisms though technology.

| One organism functions as an influencer that takes over control over the lives of other organisms. | | Two cultures of microorganisms are connectet through a camera and lightscources. |
| | | One organism functions as an influencer that takes over control over the live of the other organism. |
| There may be a feedback loop. For example if the organisms that get influenced give a positive feedback (e.g. food supply) to the organism that influences them.

| The position and or growing of the physarum can be detected by light sensors underneath the dish. This could be even designed as a maze build out of transparent tubing. | | The position and or growing of the physarum is detected by a camera above the dish. |

| Is there a way to establish a communication between two quite different organisms?

| I'm trying to build a capacitor with the organism.
| |
| A capacitor consists of two conductors wich stores different charges. They are seperated by a medium. Which is typicly a vacuum or an isolator. In this case a organic and growing organism.
| |
| Chances in that medium change the characteristic of the capacitor. Which could be data that can be read.

| My desk is now a co-working space.
| |
| I work and organisms are growing. Two of three organisms are growing very well and fast. About 15mm to 20mm.
| |
| | |
| The third organism is growing slower.
| |
| | |
| Every once in a while I check the dishes and look at the organisms. It's exiting to see them growing.
| |
| Things are happening. Right before my eyes, that's nice.
| |
| | |
| == 23/4/2021 ==
| |
| There is a white mold growing in one of the dishes. I`ll seperate the mold to a new dish. And sterelised everthing that was in contact.
| |
| | |
| == 24/4/2021 ==
| |
| I've prepared new dishes and moved/divided the organisms. I also gave them new flakes.

| |
| | |
| Very interesting idea to observe the interaction between microorganisms. This reminds me of an experiment. The experimenter injured another plant in front of a pot of plants, and the uninjured plant would have obvious electric waves when the injure happened.
| |
| | |
| But how to distinguish between positive and negative effects? (e.g. food is positiv)
| |
| | |
| In what form are these two interacting physarum related to each other? Growing in the same container?
| |
| | |
| How to avoid interference from other factors during this period?
| |
| | |
| ------
| |
| | |
| I did not understand the role of light sensor. Is it used to control the growth direction of physarum?
| |
| | |
| How to observe the influence of one on the other?
| |
|
| |
|
| How to record?
