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. | |||

As it | 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. | ||

The final phase follows Blob’s ongoing journey through the city, guided by the actual movements recorded in the timelapse of the Petri dish installation. | |||
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. | |||

Non-Human Agency: By focusing on Blob, the project challenges the anthropocentric view that has dominated urban design and development. It calls attention to the importance of considering non-human actors in shaping the future of our cities, advocating for a more inclusive and sustainable approach to design. | Non-Human Agency: By focusing on Blob, the project challenges the anthropocentric view that has dominated urban design and development.
