==='''TIME LAPSE TESTS'''=== | |||
After printing the Mexico 3D map the first time lapse test was made. The 3D Map was placed with agar inside a black container, a glass was used as a lid. Physarum was placed in strategic points near the oats. | After printing the Mexico 3D map the first time lapse test was made.

Results: The time lapse was amazing but it started molding very easily, the glass was probably not a good idea, contamination from outside was coming in. Another test was going to be held, different agar, more oats (following the patter of the most important and violent cities involving drug trade). This time it was sealed with clay. | Results: The time lapse was amazing but it started molding very easily, the glass was probably not a good idea, contamination from outside was coming in.

Results: Half of the test failed for a piece of paper from the time lapse setting fell into physarum, we decided to keep going but the test did not turn out as expected, Physarum did not touch two of the main oats, cities that are supposed to get drugs from Asia and South America. Another last test was run, different agar, the same amount of oats. | Results: Half of the test failed for a piece of paper from the time lapse setting fell into physarum, we decided to keep going but the test did not turn out as expected, Physarum did not touch two of the main oats, cities that are supposed to get drugs from Asia and South America.

==='''CONCLUSION'''=== | |||
Physarum made so many amazing movements that is hard to analyze them just by looking at the time lapse 3 or 5 times. Every frame and every picture changes completely, it may not be very obvious but physarum moves really fast. | |||
In general the way physarum moves can be interpreted in so many ways, physarum can represent the drugs trade, the drug dealers, the people running away from the problem or even the violence in specific cities that then spreads all over the country. Many things are involved in this drug trade problem, many countries share a part of it but it is very concentrated in Mexico. It is more a social rather than a numerical problem as a whole, Mexico's government does not help at all, but this is a metaphor of how I imagine this problem that is causing so much death could be ended. In a way is attacking violence with more violence, this is the potential of a revolution. | |||
