'''Concept & Sketch'''


Physarum Polycephalum, this unicellular organism that survives by constantly crawling for food, reminds me of us humans, in a way, by constantly working to get better living conditions. I was amazed by the growth rate of this slime mould and its desire for food. So my first idea is to create an „Earth“ of their own. After placing it on the agar dishes for the first time in BioLab, I brought it back to the student apartment to start feeding and observing it.

22.10.2021 // The first night in the student apartment, this unicellular organism started to spread its tentacles towards food. I also recorded its meal through time-lapse video. As I tried time-lapse in BioLab for the first time during the day, the wrong camera perspective led to a poor observation. So I chose plate #3 alone and left it in the kitchen to record for about ten hours.

==Further Idea and Sketch==
If slime mold crawls all over the sphere, I would like to design it as a device to interact with people.
