===Nicolas Krewer, Self Pleasure=== | |||
https://www.uni-weimar.de/kunst-und-gestaltung/wiki/GMU:Being_a_Unicellular_Organism/Nicolas_Krewer | |||
This work questions the feelings of organisms such as Physarum Polycephalum and how it perceives stimulation or even pleasure. Although it is stimulating itself, it does not know it does so and did not even give consent. It is a very speculative and philosophical perspective on the world of organisms that have no brain or what we describe as consciousness. | |||
===Friedrich Wilhelm Pittelkow, A social network for microorganisms=== | |||
https://www.uni-weimar.de/kunst-und-gestaltung/wiki/GMU:Different_Worlds/Friedrich_Wilhelm_Pittelkow | |||
"We use technology to connect each other. In the last years social media platforms emerged and gained popularity. Is the use of technology limited to humans or is it possible to develop and apply such a network to different worlds. Can technology be used to "talk" or interact with microorganisms and me or humans?" (Friedrich Wilhelm Pittelkow) | |||

"DJglove is a device than can be used to control different parameters that will modify a sound track through different filters and echo effects. The idea is to control all the different options just by touching the different metallic stripes that cover the glove, applying a particular effect with every different touch." (Carlos Garcia Fernandez) | |||

Is there a possibility to alter human senses by electric impulses? | |||
