==Synopsis==

Diatoms are unicellular algae which feature stunningly shaped exosceletons made of silica. “Diatoms – Forming Sense” is a survey on the constructive understanding of diatoms’ morphology in biology, architecture, craft, art, design and engineering.

Rather than being a spectacular bionics showcase, the exhibition aimes at questioning the interrelation of beauty and function and its relevance for both scientific research as well as for artistic practice.

“Diatoms – Forming Sense” is composed of

* eight showcases containing eleven exhibition chapters,

* four workplace installations each with video interviews and a small

reference library and other interactive elements

* an interactive installation

Exhibits include

* original taxonomic drawings and plates by the founder of microbiology,

C.G. Ehrenberg

* original drawings and sketches by German architect Frei Otto

* 19th diatom preparations and exhibition slides

* Scientific and modernist art microphotographs

* Architectural models and form finding studies

* Bionic prototypes and lifestyle products

* Generative video artwork
