== Short introduction to our DIY Bio-Lab ==

Welcome to our DIY Bio-Lab at Bauhaus University Weimar

Before you start using our microscopes, the laminar flow bench or chemicals I ask you kindly to take two hours to prepare beforehand.

In these two hours, please
# read the manuals for the microscopes and understand how to use them
# watch two videos and learn how to use microliter pipettes
# get some basic vocabulary about lab- equipment
# read some recipes for the medium your organism needs
# and read the basic papers about your organism, before you start growing it.

→ 1. The manuals for the lab:

→ 4. + 5. What kind of medium you want to prepare and what your organism needs you have to find out yourself.

== Current Organisms ==

We have currently living '''Euglena''', '''Physarum polycephalum''' and '''Dictyostelium discoideum'''.

If you want to work with one of these organisms, please present a short concept to GMU Staff during opening hours.

If you want to work with another organism please contact us.

[http://zooundco-brehm.de/unsere-maerkte/weimar/? Animal Store in Weimar ]

This store has '''living''' Artemia, Daphnia, Nematocera (Chironomus & Chaoborus) and Enchytraeen ( Enchytraeus albidus). They sell them in small bags and it costs less than a coffee. Each Tuesday they will have a new delivery of these fresh organisms.
It is possible for them to get other 'fish food' as well.

GMU:CyberSpace/electrochemical closed circuit system

'''Material''':

Wood 
Plexiglas cylinder 
Copper bar massive 
Copper sulfate solution 
Arduino Uno 
Powersupply 12V 2.1A DC 
3x Resitor 2.2Ω 
6x Relais 

'''electrochemical closedcircuit system #3''':

The electrochemical closedcircuit system #3 comprises of three units. Each unit acts independently, but they share the same source of energy. 
The units strive to close the gap between their electrodes through electrochemical processes. While solid copper at the anode gets reduced and copper ions are pulled into solution, copper ions at the kathode get oxidized and go into solid state. The reaction is driven by the electric potential differences between the electrodes. When the growing copper fractal closes the gap between the potentials, the unit registers the resulting drop in resistance and reverses the polarity of the electrodes. In this way the growth process is also reversed, which usually results in the breaking of a grown structure or their dissolution. 
In case of a breaking structure the resistance jumps up again, which again results in a reversal of polarity. This behaviour continues until the units use up their electrodes and therefore have no more way to transport energy. 

For this work i was inspired by the thinking of how a complex system could find a way to organize itself and pay demand to the everchanging environment that it is in and also part of. Important works for my context were done by Gordon Pask and Roman Kirschner. Gordon Pask was trying to find a system that could possibly assemble itself and adapt to stimuli of its surrounding. With his "Ear" he found a way to differentiate between two different audio frequencies through an electrochemical device. Roman Kirschner with "Roots" was especially interested in what transformations emergence can bring forward in a sufficiently open system. 

For my work the emergence is an important aspect. Although each unit is a rather simple system with simple rules, the fractal structure that arises cannot be predicted. Still the result can be interpreted very easily. Either the gap is open or closed - zero or one. With this work i want to emphasise the state in between two states. Virtually every process can be broken down to a composition of atomic decisions. When is the tipping point reached? When does a neuron "decide" to fire? When is a category not fitting any longer? In general: how does decision making look like? 

Another important aspect is the constantly growing fractal structure in each unit. It resembles a simplified process of a system to respond to its environment. The structure is the result of the system paying demand to the electric stimuli. It tries to find the most - energy - efficient way to close the gap. The "better" the structure the higher the current running through the unit the faster the growth. But faster growth also results in a faster wear off of the electrodes. 
Even if the starting conditions for each unit are the same, there will never be exactly the same structure. If the gap is closed the grown structure destroys itself to start growing from anew. The new structure starts growing on parts of the old structure and, again, tries to find the best solution for the closing of the gap still paying tribute to the everchanging conditions in the unit.

'''I am a Mirror'''

The idea of this work is to try to get the virtual space of the internet which is created by human individuals back into the "real" public space.

The performing artist will have a device capable of projecting images in front of him, that were uploaded by surrounding people through wireless technology. The artist will thereby carry the responsibility of people that he trusted by being open to their input.

The wearable projection wirelessly connectable piece of technology will not judge or sort the inputs that were given by the surrounding users in any way. The device will be reachable through an open unsecured unencrypted wireless router. The last image that was uploaded to the device will be immediately shown in front of the carrier. Therefor the artist is mirroring his surrounding environment.

'''Technological realization'''

In order to achieve those goals a projection device, like a portable beamer, a network device, like a wifi enabled laptop or a wifi enabled Raspberry Pi, will be needed. Additional to a relatively long lasting power-supply the software plays a crucial part in this performance.

In my research i found a very hand piece of software which pretty much solves a big part of fiddling with certain software packages.

The [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PirateBox Pirate Box] already comes as an webserver that directly routes all incoming http-requests to one page that offers people to upload their files to the server.
Software-wise there will be a small script needed that displays the last uploaded image on the projector.

A big plus when using a USB enabled portable Projector is that a Raspberry Pi can use the integrated battery power of the projector.

GMU:Things that organize themselves/Synergetics

2014-02-03T03:11:07Z

Clemens: /* Information */

===Synergetics===

Our human effort in revealing natures strive to shape itself within it’s own regulatory system has brought forward many, more or less, distinct fields of science, such as:
thermodynamics, chemistry, psychology, biochemistry, economics, philosophy and theology.

Synergetics deals with the interaction of elements that form complex dynamic systems.

''„In summary we can say that a great number of quite different phenomena can be looked at with the help of only a few concepts from an unified point of view. The mysterious order principles that govern the cooperation of the different parts of a large system manifest themselves as feedback-systems created by the sub-systems. Unexpected sudden changes of these order principles are initiated by phase- transitions. This opens a perspective to deal with these processes in a mathematical way.“'' - Hermann Haken 1971

''“The drive to equilibrium forces the emergence of intelligence.” 
“That the brain matches its environment is no more surprising than the matching of the two ends of a broken stick.” 
“He who would design a good brain must first know how to make a bad one.”'' - Ross Ashby

=== Motivation ===

In order to shed light on the processes of nature i am trying to create an artificial homöodynamic system.

'''Material''':

Wood 
Plexiglas cylinder 
Copper bar massive 
Copper sulfate solution 
Arduino Uno 
Powersupply 12V 2.1A DC 
3x Resitor 2.2Ω 
6x Relais 

'''electrochemical closedcircuit system #3''':

The electrochemical closedcircuit system #3 comprises of three units. Each unit acts independently, but they share the same source of energy. 
The units strive to close the gap between their electrodes through electrochemical processes. While solid copper at the anode gets reduced and copper ions are pulled into solution, copper ions at the kathode get oxidized and go into solid state. The reaction is driven by the electric potential differences between the electrodes. When the growing copper fractal closes the gap between the potentials, the unit registers the resulting drop in resistance and reverses the polarity of the electrodes. In this way the growth process is also reversed, which usually results in the breaking of a grown structure or their dissolution. 
In case of a breaking structure the resistance jumps up again, which again results in a reversal of polarity. This behaviour continues until the units use up their electrodes and therefore have no more way to transport energy. 

For this work i was inspired by the thinking of how a complex system could find a way to organize itself and pay demand to the everchanging environment that it is in and also part of. Important works works for my context were done by Gordon Pask and Roman Kirschner. Gordon Pask was trying to find a system that could possibly assemble itself and adapt to stimuli of its surrounding. With his "Ear" he found a way to differentiate between two different audio frequencies through an electrochemical device. Roman Kirschner with "Roots" was especially interested in what transformations emergence can bring forward in a sufficiently open system. 

For my work the emergence is an important aspect. Although each unit is a rather simple system with simple rules, the fractal structure that arises cannot be predicted. Still the result can be interpreted very easily. Either the gap is open or closed - zero or one. With this work i want emphase on the state in between two states. Virtually every process can be broken down to a composition of atomic decisions. When is the tipping point reached? When does a neuron "decide" to fire? When is a category not fitting any longer? In general: how does decision making look like? 

Another important aspect is the constantly growing fractal structure in each unit. It resembles a simplified process of a system to respond to its environment. The structure is the result of the system paying demand to the electric stimuli. It tries to find the most - energy - efficient way to close the gap. The "better" the structure the higher the current running through the unit the faster the growth. But faster growth also results in a faster wear off of the electrodes. 
Even if the starting conditions for each unit are the same, there will never be exactly the same structure. If the gap is closed the grown structure destroys itself to start growing from anew. The new structure starts growing on parts of the old structure and, again, tries to find the best solution for the closing of the gap still paying tribute to the everchanging conditions in the unit.

''Lehrperson:'' [[Michael Markert]] 
''Credits:'' 6 [[ECTS]], 3 [[SWS]] 
''Datum:'' Dienstags, 17:00 bis 19:30 h 
''Ort:'' [[Marienstraße 7b]], Raum 105 
''Erstes Treffen:'' Dienstag, 16.4.

Eine Weiterführung des [[IFD:GenerativeBauhaus]] Vorkurses auf fortgeschrittenem Niveau, der sich im zweiten Teil nicht mehr mit den Grundlagen der Gestaltung, sondern intensiv mit Konzepten Generativer Kunst und Gestaltung auseinandersetzt. Bei diesem Fortgeschrittenenkurs, der auch für Master-Studenten offen steht, liegt der Fokus auf dem Zusammentreffen künstlerischer und interessierter Teilnehmer, die zusammen Wissen austauschen, diskutieren und entdecken möchten. Wir werden versuchen, uns neben historischen Aspekten generativer Konzepte auch mit aktuellen zeitgenössischen Künsten zu beschäftigen. Evtl. können wir eine Exkursion nach Berlin unternehmen. Auch gehen wir spannenden wissenschaftlichen und programmiertechnischen Fragestellungen nach. Die genauen Inhalte und das Programm des Kurses werden wir nach gemeinsamen Interessen zusammen stellen.
