Without thinking about the meaning I sometimes used a daylight lamp to light Euglena - its actual function is to spend light for people during the winter months to lift the spirits and to obviate tiredness. | Without thinking about the meaning I sometimes used a daylight lamp to light Euglena - its actual function is to spend light for people during the winter months to lift the spirits and to obviate tiredness. | ||
The outcome of my project is an installation which makes it possible to move Euglena to places and in shapes I want. To make this possible I utilize Euglena’s ability of phototaxis to control its movement. The result is the copy of a negative drawing - filled with thousands of those green microorganisms - which starts to fade after a couple of minutes. | |||

Before I started to develop the installation I researched ideas, methods and other projects. The following experiments and the documentation shall give an overview of my work. | Before I started to develop the installation I researched ideas, methods and other projects.
