GMU:Growing microorganisms for bioart projects SoSe24 / Lidya / Blob: Difference between revisions

The creation of the slime mold installation, specifically the Petri dish setup, was carried out by Dicle Lidya Çolak in the BioLab of the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. This installation was made possible by the expertise, skills, and equipment gained from the courses "DIY BioLab Driver’s License" and "Growing Microorganisms for Bioart Projects," led by Alessandro Volpato. The project reflects the combined outcomes of the "Growing Microorganisms for Bioart Projects" and "Beyond the Screens" courses.

The project ''Blob'' explores the themes of rebirth and consumption, advocating for a renewed relationship between humanity and nature to ensure future survival and prosperity. It contrasts the rapid growth fueled by AI and technology with the depletion of resources, warning of an impending collapse. Yet, it also envisions a cyclical rebirth, where the past reappears in the future, encouraging balance between human-made environments and natural ecosystems.
