== 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 hood or chemicals, please take a couple of hours to prepare beforehand:

* 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.

==Farewell PP==
===My relationship with PP===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

</gallery>
After some time it became that strong and fast that I could see it move with my naked eye and I needed to change the dishes every few hours as it started to climb out of it in to my closet and spread all over my Blurays and such.

===Exhibition===
In April 2019 I was part of "republic of spirits". An one night only exhibition project for the founding day of the Bauhaus 100 years ago. My setup was experimental and hands on. I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with all the people passing by. So I created a lab like environment with basic stuff you would find normally in a community lab. Easy for everyone to use. I took Polycephalum, Euglena and Pyrocystis fusiformis with me and let people discover it, ask questions and take PP home.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

==First step==

I started first to put him with the Petri dish into a box of cardboard and watered it from time to time.

It worked out pretty well and it started to grow into the box and even out of it.

{{#ev:vimeo|336364252}}

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

</gallery>
{{#ev:vimeo|336363754}}
After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

===Physarum & I===

A project from [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Antje_Danz|Antje Danz]] & [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Fernanda_Caicedo|Fernanda Caicedo]]

The Goal of our work is to make people curious about nature and the meanings of intelligence and creativity in a playful way.
We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist).

===Workshop===

Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it.

Part of the single celled organism is shared with the audience as well as some easy to use Experimental Kits to collect information about the new habitat of the organism outside of the lab and its interaction especially with kids and people from a non scientific or artistic context as well as any other interested.

In the end Physarum it is fused back together into one big organism to see how it shares the outside of the lab experience among the parts.

Visitors will obtain instructions on how to document the interaction with their cell phone by using Applications such as FrameLapse or by using their camera software. They will also have the task of uploading their videos or screenshots on social networks using hashtags such as:

.#PhysarumAndMe #PhysarumIsAWriter #SummaeryBiolabExperiment

[[File:Physarum&I_summaery2019.jpg|200px]]

===Maze Experiment - First try===
We thought of how to do the experiment as easy as possible. First we prepared a normal agar plate with a 2 % agar solution and then In then an agar salt solution:

*100 ml water
*1 g agar
*350 g sodium

Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate. We placed the oat flakes at the start of the maze and at the finish and set up a time lapse to see what happened. We took a picture every 8 minutes and checked after 5 days. As it has been quite hot after 3 days the plate dried out and Physarum as well. The salt speeded up the process. See the result in the video below.

{{#ev:youtube|hC-SauWZSxo}}

===Maze Experiment - second try===
We want to improve the maze experiment so we started a second try. Normal agar plate was prepared again and also one full plate with the agar salt recipe. This time we printed a maze and cut out a stencil with coloured card board and put it in the liquid agar salt solution and let it sit till it cooled. We cut the maze out again and placed it in the petri dish with the 2 % water agar. We also painted a bit of the salty agar in areas we we don't want the organism to go. We placed oats at the end of the maze and the organism at the start. Time lapse is set.

I started first to put him with the Petri dish into a box of cardboard and watered it from time to time.

It worked out pretty well and it started to grow into the box and even out of it.

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

===Physarum & I===

A project from [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Antje_Danz|Antje Danz]] & [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Fernanda_Caicedo|Fernanda Caicedo]]

The Goal of our work is to make people curious about nature and the meanings of intelligence and creativity in a playful way.
We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist).

===Workshop===

Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it.

Part of the single celled organism is shared with the audience as well as some easy to use Experimental Kits to collect information about the new habitat of the organism outside of the lab and its interaction especially with kids and people from a non scientific or artistic context as well as any other interested.

In the end Physarum it is fused back together into one big organism to see how it shares the outside of the lab experience among the parts.

Visitors will obtain instructions on how to document the interaction with their cell phone by using Applications such as FrameLapse or by using their camera software. They will also have the task of uploading their videos or screenshots on social networks using hashtags such as:

===Maze Experiment - First try===
We thought of how to do the experiment as easy as possible. First we prepared a normal agar plate with a 2 % agar solution and then In then an agar salt solution:

*100 ml water
*1 g agar
*350 g sodium

Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate. We placed the oat flakes at the start of the maze and at the finish and set up a time lapse to see what happened. We took a picture every 8 minutes and checked after 5 days. As it has been quite hot after 3 days the plate dried out and Physarum as well. The salt speeded up the process. See the result in the video below.

{{#ev:youtube|hC-SauWZSxo}}

===Maze Experiment - second try===
We want to improve the maze experiment so we started a second try. Normal agar plate was prepared again and also one full plate with the agar salt recipe. This time we printed a maze and cut out a stencil with coloured card board and put it in the liquid agar salt solution and let it sit till it cooled. We cut the maze out again and placed it in the petri dish with the 2 % water agar. We also painted a bit of the salty agar in areas we we don't want the organism to go. We placed oats at the end of the maze and the organism at the start. Time lapse is set.

'''Physarum Polycephalum'''

[[File:_MG_0789.jpg|400px]]

Known as the "many-headed slime" is a protist organism that lives in dark and humid places and outdoors feeds on bacteria and fungi.

Physarum polycephalum conceive the essence of improvisation for survival. It spreads, seeks for food and in every steep recognise it self with the intention of prevail. Physarum is a millions of nuclei organism, all sharing a cell wall, all operating as a single entity. The particularly way that Physarum grows also respond to a repetitive call-response pattern. They go two steeps forward and one backwards, then two forwards and one backwards and so on... They talk to each order und response, then grow...

PROJECT:

'''Writing system for Non-Human species'''

In the history of the world, the phenomenon of writing arises when the spoken form reaches such prestige that it needs to take a physical form. Its function is the perpetuity of a message over time.
A writing system is a type of symbolic system, used to express elements or expressible statements. All writing systems known in the world, have been and are developed by humans as from their needs. But what happens if human facilitates this system to other species?

According to science, there's no written, or carved symbols or anything that any non-human species has developed as a tool for communication. But, animals have a number of in-born qualities they use to signal their feelings, but these are not like the formed words we see in the human language. Countless species like bears, dogs, many insects, snakes, and cats do use chemical markings and pheromones for certain purposes. Some animals leave detailed messages for members of their own (and in some cases other) species by marking an object or the ground with a bodily excretion.

There has been scientific intentions to teach animals the human lenguaje. One of the most contested examples is Nim Chimpsky, a chimpanzee named after noted linguist Noam Chomsky, who was taught over 100 signs in sign language in the '70s. Turning hand gestures into meaning certainly displays arbitrariness. But Herbert Terrace, the psychology that led the study doubted that Nim had really learned a language. He noted that Nim very rarely signed spontaneously; instead, he would react to signs his teacher was making.

Bacteria for example communicates thought chemicals, they expel one molecule in order to express some need to the group. They need communication because they need to carry on tasks that are impossible to do by just one individual, so as humans they express desires so they can achieve goals.

The way Bacteria communicates reveals how cells (the building blocks of complex life) first came together. Molecular biologists believe that this way of proceeding from Bacteria reveals that they invented the way that groups of organisms or cells work together to do things cooperatively.

But what about writing lenguaje? What happens if human facilitates this system to other species, or some king of symbolic system? How does it look, how would that work?

CONCLUTION...

Like so much other things in the natural world, human lenguaje evolved, didn't just arises.

[[File:C6SFkjZU4AAzoOC.jpg|400px]]

It has been proved that there is a way of interaction between non-human species that allow them to reach goals, feed, pair or survived either through sounds, waves, chemical reactions or bodily excretion. But not any species aside from Humans had developed a symbolic language capable of prevail and transform.
Physarum, unlike Human, its a primitive organism, but nevertheless it performs in such an organized and clever way on searching for the food with the bests nutrients. That's how Physarum manages to survive.

IDEA...
(Work in progress, text: revision and translation)
What I propose its a cooperative work between this two organisms "Human + Physarum polycephalum" with the purpose of building a metaphor about coexistence, social skills and proximity of behavior between two beings (Human and Physarum) of opposite natures but with similar social capacities.

Pero por qué usar estos dos organismos:
Los seres Humanos

Los experimentos tienen como fin el crear conciencia sobre la naturaleza social humana. como un elemento de la naturaleza como el hongo mucilaginoso, al parecer un organismo simple sin capacidades

.The human is represented by the ''Writing'' one of the most interesting achievements of the human being through his evolution in the world.
.Physarum will act on '' The human writing'' based on their sense of survival, that means that Physarum will write and at the same time is going to feed on the word.

Two species, completely different from each other, collaborating together and creating a "Survival/Language" action.

Using the experiment conducted in SS2018 [https://www.uni-weimar.de/kunst-und-gestaltung/wiki/GMU:Habitats_SS18/Fernanda_Caicedo] experimenting with physarum as a pictorial tool, I want to develop a writing exercise with Slime Mold.

'''Start'''

The first attempt at cultivating Physarum in order to begin the project (in the common way: Agar+Oat flakes) was negative. There was a proliferation of a red bacteria.

[[File:1cultivating physarum1.jpg|400px]]
[[File:1cultivating physarum2.jpg|400px]]
[[File:1cultivating physarum3.jpg|400px]]

The second try was successful. We have now a strong and healthy Slime Mood to start with.
It is necessary to keep growing Physarum using the usual method (Agar+Oat flakes) so that samples of Physarum are always available for developing the experiment.

''In order to recognise and compare the behaviour of Physarum with the Human behaviour in two opposite realities, I developed''

==Farewell Polycephalum==
===My relationship with Polycephalum===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

===Physarum & I===

A project from [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Antje_Danz|Antje Danz]] & [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Fernanda_Caicedo|Fernanda Caicedo]]

The Goal of our work is to make people curious about nature and the meanings of intelligence and creativity in a playful way.
We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist).

===Workshop===

Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it.

Part of the single celled organism is shared with the audience as well as some easy to use Experimental Kits to collect information about the new habitat of the organism outside of the lab and its interaction especially with kids and people from a non scientific or artistic context as well as any other interested.

In the end Physarum it is fused back together into one big organism to see how it shares the outside of the lab experience among the parts.

Visitors will obtain instructions on how to document the interaction with their cell phone by using Applications such as FrameLapse or by using their camera software. They will also have the task of uploading their videos or screenshots on social networks using hashtags such as:

===Maze Experiment - First try===
We thought of how to do the experiment as easy as possible. First we prepared a normal agar plate with a 2 % agar solution and then In then an agar salt solution:

*100 ml water
*1 g agar
*350 g sodium

Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate. We placed to flakes at the start of the maze and at the finish and set up a time lapse to see what happened. We took a picture every 8 minutes and checked after 5 days. As it has been quite hot after 3 days the plate dried out and Physarum as well. The salt speeded up the process. See the result in the video below.

{{#ev:youtube|hC-SauWZSxo}}

===Maze Experiment - second try===
We want to improve the maze experiment so we started a second try. Normal agar plate was prepared again and also one full plate with the agar salt recipe. This time we printed a maze and cut out a stencil with coloured card board and put it in the liquid agar salt solution and let it sit till it cooled. We cut the maze out again and placed it in the petri dish with the 2 % water agar. We also painted a bit of the salty agar in areas we we don't want the organism to go. We placed oats at the end of the maze and the organism at the start. Time lapse is set.

==Farewell PP==
===My relationship with PP===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

After some time it became that strong and fast that I could see it move with my naked eye and I needed to change the dishes every few hours as it started to climb out of it in to my closet and spread all over my Blurays and such.

===Exhibition===
In April 2019 I was part of "republic of spirits". An one night only exhibition project for the founding day of the Bauhaus 100 years ago. My setup was experimental and hands on. I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with all the people passing by. So I created a lab like environment with basic stuff you would find normally in a community lab. Easy for everyone to use. I took Polycephalum, Euglena and Pyrocystis fusiformis with me and let people discover it, ask questions and take PP home.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

A project from [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Antje_Danz|Antje Danz]] & [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Fernanda_Caicedo|Fernanda Caicedo]]

The Goal of our work is to make people curious about nature and the meanings of intelligence and creativity in a playful way.
We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist).

===Workshop===

Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it.

Part of the single celled organism is shared with the audience as well as some easy to use Experimental Kits to collect information about the new habitat of the organism outside of the lab and its interaction especially with kids and people from a non scientific or artistic context as well as any other interested.

In the end Physarum it is fused back together into one big organism to see how it shares the outside of the lab experience among the parts.

Visitors will obtain instructions on how to document the interaction with their cell phone by using Applications such as FrameLapse or by using their camera software. They will also have the task of uploading their videos or screenshots on social networks using hashtags such as:

===Maze Experiment for the visitors - First try===
We thought of how to do the experiment as easy as possible. First we prepared a normal agar plate with a 2 % agar solution and then In then an agar salt solution:

*100 ml water
*1 g agar
*350 g sodium

Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate. We placed to flakes at the start of the maze and at the finish and set up a time lapse to see what happened. We took a picture every 8 minutes and checked after 5 days. As it has been quite hot after 3 days the plate dried out and Physarum as well. The salt speeded up the process. See the result in the video below.

==Farewell PP==
===My relationship with PP===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

After some time it became that strong and fast that I could see it move with my naked eye and I needed to change the dishes every few hours as it started to climb out of it in to my closet and spread all over my Blurays and such.

===Exhibition===
In April 2019 I was part of "republic of spirits". An one night only exhibition project for the founding day of the Bauhaus 100 years ago. My setup was experimental and hands on. I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with all the people passing by. So I created a lab like environment with basic stuff you would find normally in a community lab. Easy for everyone to use. I took Polycephalum, Euglena and Pyrocystis fusiformis with me and let people discover it, ask questions and take PP home.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

==First step==

I started first to put him with the Petri dish into a box of cardboard and watered it from time to time.

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

{{#ev:vimeo|336363754}}
After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

==First step==

I started first to put him with the Petri dish into a box of cardboard and watered it from time to time.

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

===Physarum & I===

A project from [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Antje_Danz|Antje Danz]] & [[GMU:I,_Organism,_and_Feedback_Loops/Fernanda_Caicedo|Fernanda Caicedo]]

The Goal of our work is to make people curious about nature and the meanings of intelligence and creativity in a playful way.
We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist).

====Workshop====

Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it.

Part of the single celled organism is shared with the audience as well as some easy to use Experimental Kits to collect information about the new habitat of the organism outside of the lab and its interaction especially with kids and people from a non scientific or artistic context as well as any other interested.

In the end Physarum it is fused back together into one big organism to see how it shares the outside of the lab experience among the parts.

Visitors will obtain instructions on how to document the interaction with their cell phone by using Applications such as FrameLapse or by using their camera software. They will also have the task of uploading their videos or screenshots on social networks using hashtags such as:
#PhysarumAndMe #PhysarumIsAWriter #SummaeryBiolabExperiment

[[File:Physarum&I_summaery2019.jpg|400px]]

====Maze Experiment for the visitors - First try====
We thought of how to do the experiment as easy as possible. First we prepared a normal agar plate with a 2 % agar solution and then In then an agar salt solution:

*100 ml water
*1 g agar
*350 g sodium

Heated up everything till it boiled and then we "painted" the maze with the salt solution on the normal agar plate. We placed to flakes at the start of the maze and at the finish and set up a time lapse to see what happened. We took a picture every 8 minutes and checked after 5 days. As it has been quite hot after 3 days the plate dried out and Physarum as well. The salt speeded up the process. See the result in the video below.

==Farewell PP==
===My relationship with PP===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

After some time it became that strong and fast that I could see it move with my naked eye and I needed to change the dishes every few hours as it started to climb out of it in to my closet and spread all over my Blurays and such.

===Exhibition===
In April 2019 I was part of "republic of spirits". An one night only exhibition project for the founding day of the Bauhaus 100 years ago. My setup was experimental and hands on. I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with all the people passing by. So I created a lab like environment with basic stuff you would find normally in a community lab. Easy for everyone to use. I took Polycephalum, Euglena and Pyrocystis fusiformis with me and let people discover it, ask questions and take PP home.

The Goal of our work is to make people curious about nature and the meanings of intelligence and creativity in a playful way.
We strongly believe in the importance of didactic learning. We want to give people the possibility to experience in a close and fun relationship Bioart and the interaction with organisms. They will be able to recognize and appreciate the capabilities of micro organisms, in our case represented by the Slime Mould "Physarum Polycephalum" and change their points of view about nature and life itself by exploring the collaborations between organisms of different species (Human/Protist).

'''Workshop'''

Visitors of the installation are invited to collaborate with the single celled social organism Physarum Polycephalum. In a small workshop set up they learn how to cultivate it, how to feed it, how to get creatively in contact and interaction with it and what they can learn from it.

Part of the single celled organism is shared with the audience as well as some easy to use Experimental Kits to collect information about the new habitat of the organism outside of the lab and its interaction especially with kids and people from a non scientific or artistic context as well as any other interested.

In the end Physarum it is fused back together into one big organism to see how it shares the outside of the lab experience among the parts.

Visitors will obtain instructions on how to document the interaction with their cell phone by using Applications such as FrameLapse or by using their camera software. They will also have the task of uploading their videos or screenshots on social networks using hashtags such as:
#PhysarumAndMe #PhysarumIsAWriter #SummaeryBiolabExperiment

==Farewell PP==
===My relationship with PP===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

</gallery>
After some time it became that strong and fast that I could see it move with my naked eye and I needed to change the dishes every few hours as it started to climb out of it in to my closet and spread all over my Blurays and such.

===Exhibition===
In April 2019 I was part of "republic of spirits". An one night only exhibition project for the founding day of the Bauhaus 100 years ago. My setup was experimental and hands on. I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with all the people passing by. So I created a lab like environment with basic stuff you would find normally in a community lab. Easy for everyone to use. I took Polycephalum, Euglena and Pyrocystis fusiformis with me and let people discover it, ask questions and take PP home.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

==First step==

I started first to put him with the Petri dish into a box of cardboard and watered it from time to time.

It worked out pretty well and it started to grow into the box and even out of it.

{{#ev:vimeo|336364252}}

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

</gallery>
{{#ev:vimeo|336363754}}
After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

==Basic concepts==
===Life===
"There are over a 100 definitions for 'life' and all are wrong" 
http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170101-there-are-over-100-definitions-for-life-and-all-are-wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life#Definitions 
Since there is no unequivocal definition of life, most current definitions in biology are descriptive. Life is considered a characteristic of something that preserves, furthers or reinforces its existence in the given environment. This characteristic exhibits all or most of the following traits:
Homeostasis
Organization
Metabolism
Growth
Adaptation
Response to stimuli
Reproduction

===Organism===
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organism 
In biology, an organism (from Greek: ὀργανισμός, organismos) is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life. It is a synonym for "life form".
Organisms are classified by taxonomy into specified groups such as the multicellular animals, plants, and fungi; or unicellular microorganisms such as a protists, bacteria, and archaea. All types of organisms are capable of reproduction, growth and development, maintenance, and some degree of response to stimuli.

====Prokaryote====
Prokaryotes are represented by two separate domains—bacteria and archaea.
A unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.

====Eukaryote====
Eukaryotic organisms are characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound cell nucleus and contain additional membrane-bound compartments called organelles (such as mitochondria in animals and plants and plastids in plants and algae, all generally considered to be derived from endosymbiotic bacteria). Fungi, animals and plants are examples of kingdoms of organisms within the eukaryotes.

===Microorganism===
Living beings that are too small to be seen with the (human) eye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interactions_with_microbes

They live in almost every habitat from the poles to the equator, deserts, geysers, rocks and the deep sea. Some are adapted to extremes such as very hot or very cold conditions, others to high pressure or [...] high radiation environments. Microorganisms also make up the microbiota found in and on all multicellular organisms.

Microbes are important in human culture and health in many ways, serving to ferment foods, treat sewage, produce fuel, enzymes and other bioactive compounds. They are essential tools in biology as model organisms and have been put to use in biological warfare and bioterrorism. They are a vital component of fertile soils. In the human body microorganisms make up the human microbiota including the essential gut flora. They are the pathogens responsible for many infectious diseases and as such are the target of hygiene measures.

The possible existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as in Jain scriptures from 6th century BC India and the 1st century BC book On Agriculture by Marcus Terentius Varro. Microbiology, the scientific study of microorganisms, began with their observation under the microscope in the 1670s by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.

===Cell biology / Molecular biology===
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_biology

Cells consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane, which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.

A prokaryotic cell has three architectural regions: 
1) Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope 
2) Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the genome (DNA), ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. 
3) On the outside, flagella and pili project from the cell's surface. These are structures (not present in all prokaryotes) made of proteins that facilitate movement and communication between cells. 

Eukariotic cell
The main distinguishing feature of eukaryotes as compared to prokaryotes is compartmentalization: the presence of membrane-bound organelles (compartments) in which specific activities take place.

Most important among these is a cell nucleus - an organelle that houses the cell's DNA. This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name, which means "true kernel (nucleus)".

While working in the [[GMU:DIY BioLab| DIY BioLab]] (Chair of Media Environments) you will learn how to think like a microbiologist and what it means to do scientific research. Educational objectives include literature research, experiment design, result documentation, discussion and scientific writing.
The course will be structured in a flexible way, tailored to the needs of the participants and the program will be developed collaboratively. Attendance during the 3 days of the course, as well as the delivery of detailed project documentation (paper, artwork, etc.) until the end of the semester is required.

===Life===
"There are over a 100 definitions for 'life' and all are wrong" 
http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20170101-there-are-over-100-definitions-for-life-and-all-are-wrong

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life#Definitions 
Since there is no unequivocal definition of life, most current definitions in biology are descriptive. Life is considered a characteristic of something that preserves, furthers or reinforces its existence in the given environment. This characteristic exhibits all or most of the following traits:
Homeostasis
Organization
Metabolism
Growth
Adaptation
Response to stimuli
Reproduction

===Organism===
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organism 
In biology, an organism (from Greek: ὀργανισμός, organismos) is any individual entity that exhibits the properties of life. It is a synonym for "life form".
Organisms are classified by taxonomy into specified groups such as the multicellular animals, plants, and fungi; or unicellular microorganisms such as a protists, bacteria, and archaea. All types of organisms are capable of reproduction, growth and development, maintenance, and some degree of response to stimuli.

====Prokaryote====
Prokaryotes are represented by two separate domains—bacteria and archaea.
A unicellular organism that lacks a membrane-bound nucleus, mitochondria, or any other membrane-bound organelle.

====Eukaryote====
Eukaryotic organisms are characterized by the presence of a membrane-bound cell nucleus and contain additional membrane-bound compartments called organelles (such as mitochondria in animals and plants and plastids in plants and algae, all generally considered to be derived from endosymbiotic bacteria). Fungi, animals and plants are examples of kingdoms of organisms within the eukaryotes.

===Microorganism===
Living beings that are too small to be seen with the (human) eye.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microorganism 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_interactions_with_microbes

They live in almost every habitat from the poles to the equator, deserts, geysers, rocks and the deep sea. Some are adapted to extremes such as very hot or very cold conditions, others to high pressure or [...] high radiation environments. Microorganisms also make up the microbiota found in and on all multicellular organisms.

Microbes are important in human culture and health in many ways, serving to ferment foods, treat sewage, produce fuel, enzymes and other bioactive compounds. They are essential tools in biology as model organisms and have been put to use in biological warfare and bioterrorism. They are a vital component of fertile soils. In the human body microorganisms make up the human microbiota including the essential gut flora. They are the pathogens responsible for many infectious diseases and as such are the target of hygiene measures.

The possible existence of unseen microbial life was suspected from ancient times, such as in Jain scriptures from 6th century BC India and the 1st century BC book On Agriculture by Marcus Terentius Varro. Microbiology, the scientific study of microorganisms, began with their observation under the microscope in the 1670s by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek.

===Cell biology / Molecular biology===
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cell_biology 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_biology

Cells consist of cytoplasm enclosed within a membrane, which contains many biomolecules such as proteins and nucleic acids.

A prokaryotic cell has three architectural regions: 
1) Enclosing the cell is the cell envelope 
2) Inside the cell is the cytoplasmic region that contains the genome (DNA), ribosomes and various sorts of inclusions. 
3) On the outside, flagella and pili project from the cell's surface. These are structures (not present in all prokaryotes) made of proteins that facilitate movement and communication between cells. 

Eukariotic cell
The main distinguishing feature of eukaryotes as compared to prokaryotes is compartmentalization: the presence of membrane-bound organelles (compartments) in which specific activities take place.

Most important among these is a cell nucleus - an organelle that houses the cell's DNA. This nucleus gives the eukaryote its name, which means "true kernel (nucleus)".

Junilia: /* Farewell PP */

==Farewell Polycephalum==
===My relationship with PP===
Last semester I started working with the the single cell organism Physarum Polycephalum. I spent a lot of time figuring out how it grows the best. How to feed it. How to "store" it. Right after Christmas or during Christmas 2018 I was at a point where I finally felt comfortable with the organism. The days got longer again and the temperature slowly changed to milder temperatures. Polycephalum started getting even more comfortable and grew and grew. From now on I spent more and more time with changing petri dishes, taking pictures, feeding.

</gallery>
After some time it became that strong and fast that I could see it move with my naked eye and I needed to change the dishes every few hours as it started to climb out of it in to my closet and spread all over my Blurays and such.

===Exhibition===
In April 2019 I was part of "republic of spirits". An one night only exhibition project for the founding day of the Bauhaus 100 years ago. My setup was experimental and hands on. I wanted to share my passion and knowledge with all the people passing by. So I created a lab like environment with basic stuff you would find normally in a community lab. Easy for everyone to use. I took Polycephalum, Euglena and Pyrocystis fusiformis with me and let people discover it, ask questions and take PP home.

===Project===
In over half a year I kind of started having a serious relationship with Polycephalum. When I received my first sample of PP it was weak (because of winter times and my leck of experience) and I killed it several times. I was frustrated and fascinated at the same time. Sometimes I hated it because it grew all over the place and I had to clean everything. But from the very beginning I knew that it was living and that I have some sort of a responsibility towards it. Because of this whole relationship it is time to say goodbye to PP as the Petri dish is not its natural habitat. I am trying to get PP out of the intensive care of the nursery or shelter I gave him and go back to where it belongs too. And as in the area of Weimar PP is never seen before he might feel comfortable in the Ilm Park or the woods around town. Let's see.

==First step==

I started first to put him with the Petri dish into a box of cardboard and watered it from time to time.

It worked out pretty well and it started to grow into the box and even out of it.

{{#ev:vimeo|336364252}}

==2nd step==
As this is still not so close to it's natural habitat I went to the forest to get a few natural materials for a nature box for PP. I collected dead wood, moss, grass, leaves, soil and of course not intended insects, bugs.

</gallery>
{{#ev:vimeo|336363754}}
After a few days Polycephalum went through the whole live cycle and in the end built sporangia. I left it in the box to see if it at some point comes back to life. So far it doesn't. I also consider to set it free in the parc.

===Soil===
I collected some fresh soil in the parc and put it in a jar and Polycephalum on top.
