GMU:Relationship patterns in the environments: Difference between revisions

For example a tree, whether individually free-standing or crowded in a forest, is never a single living being or axenic individuum. Its better to state it as an dividual interweavement of many species. Some of these species are accidental, migrantic guests, while others live together according to specific processes of recognition, merging to new phenotypes or provide for each other and are interdependent but in ecological defined couples or more complex societies. Among others, mosses, algae and lichens colonize the bark and branches and leaves in the air. In the soil, cooperation takes place between root systems, mycorrhizal fungi, soil bacteria, nematodes and various insects. The concept of the microbiome is just as relevant in the various environments as questions of historically called biocolonialism, parasitic strategies or commensalism  

The specialist module will present some examples from a scientific and cultural perspective. In the field, suggestions will be given for identifying such relationships and observing them artistically. Excursions will be organized by arrangement. Interdisciplinary literature (e.g. Ursula Damm, Michaela Ott, Lynn Margulis, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Laurie Palmer, Emanuele Coccia and Vincent Zonca will be presented next to scientific/historic publications. A variety of narratives and inspirations for artistic research can be developed from our investigations and interdisciplinary discourses Your attention and curiosity are needed. It would be great, if you could connect with each other and look for such individual interconnections together.  

-Further meetings weekly at same time and same place.

'''Flechten und Moosexkursion/Voluntarily:''' If you wish, you can join me on Saturday, October 18, for an excursion with "Thuringian Lichen Forester" Hagen Grünberg. It will take place near Gotha. If you would like to participate, please write to me in the next few days and I will send you all the information you need to get there.  

Ein Baum, ob freistehend oder im Wald, ist selten ein einzelnes Lebewesen, sondern ein Konsortium vieler Arten. Einige dieser Arten sind zufällige Gäste, während andere nach spezifischen Erkennungsprozessen zusammenleben, sich gegenseitig versorgen und voneinander abhängig sind. Unter anderem besiedeln Moose, Algen und Flechten die Borken und Äste im Luftraum. Im Boden finden Kooperationen zwischen Wurzelwerk, Mykorrhiza-Pilzen und Bodenbakterien statt. Der Begriff des Mikrobioms ist in den verschiedenen Umwelten ebenso relevant wie Fragen nach Biokolonialismus, parasitären Strategien oder Kommensalismus.
