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.

'''PROJECT:'''


IDEA...
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 of opposite natures but with similar social capacities.

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:
While there is life there will be interaction and within it there will be communication and language.
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.

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.
First I need a strong and healthy Slime mold 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.

The second try was successful. We have now a strong and healthy Slime Mood to start with.

'''EXPERIMENTS:'''


I developed some experiments for Physarum whose main axis is the action of survival from the human point of view. These experiments would allow me to understand the social nature of the organism, compare realities, forms of behavior and our proximity as species.
This is the method I found wich would allow me to develop basic symbols of lenguaje.


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