The storyline begins with the emergence of Blob, replacing the human as the central actor. Starting from the Elbphilharmonie building, Blob begins to spread across the city of Hamburg, mirroring its natural growth patterns observed in Petri dish experiments. This initial phase symbolizes the birth of a new perspective, where the city is viewed through the eyes of a non-human organism.[[File: | The storyline begins with the emergence of Blob, replacing the human as the central actor.

In the next phase, a timelapse of a three-week-old Petri dish growth overlaps with a map of Hamburg, illustrating Blob’s exploration of the city. The Blob’s movements are tracked, revealing how it navigates, splits, congregates, consumes, and moves through different areas. This exploration phase highlights the organic, unpredictable nature of Blob's behavior, drawing parallels to how ecosystems evolve and adapt.[[File:Figure4.jpg|center|frameless|400x400px]]<small>Content made by: Torben Zsagar & Dicle Lidya Çolak</small> | In the next phase, a timelapse of a three-week-old Petri dish growth overlaps with a map of Hamburg, illustrating Blob’s exploration of the city.

As Blob continues to move, it leaves traces of itself behind, marking these points as memories. These traces signify areas that are no longer suitable for the Blob, preventing it from revisiting them. However, in leaving these marks, Blob disrupts the environment, transforming the texture of the city. The familiar pattern of Hamburg becomes undefined, symbolizing the dissolution of human-centric urban structures and the emergence of a new, undefined landscape shaped by non-human agency.[[File:Fig7.jpg|center|frameless|400x400px]]<small>Content made by: Torben Zsagar</small> | As Blob continues to move, it leaves traces of itself behind, marking these points as memories.

As it moves, Blob encounters challenges, undergoes transformations, and occasionally retreats to new areas, only to repeat the cycle. This phase reflects the cyclical nature of life, where growth and decay are intertwined, and where the search for a sustainable future is ongoing but fraught with obstacles.[[File:Figure6.jpg|center|frameless|400x400px]] | As it moves, Blob encounters challenges, undergoes transformations, and occasionally retreats to new areas, only to repeat the cycle.
