| Further Progress: | |||
| SCOBY, an assemblage of micro organisms, is the protagonist of several video messages: | |||
| Stage 1: "Introduction" (the viewer got a jar including a piece of Scoby and a youtube link) | |||
| SCOBY speaks (directly to the viewer) about different perspectives on "the world" and our everyday environment. It encourages the viewer to cooperate for getting an insight in a different view on things. | |||
| Stage 2: "Getting Started" (the viewer replied to the message, he is now a participant) | |||
| SCOBY tells the participant how to grow a new Scoby body from the piece floating in the jar. | |||
| Stage 3: "Exercise 1" | |||
| SCOBY comes up with a series of exercises that shall increase the participants sensual awareness. | |||

| Stage 7: "Exercise 5" | |||

| Stage 8: "Vision of Change" | |||
| Now the participant is prepared to take the last step. | |||
| He is asked to think of a specific vision of change for the next three days. | |||
| Stage 9: "Ceremony" | |||
| The participant has decided for a vision of change. | |||
| SCOBY introduces the procedure of a ceremony that will give the participant the ability to make his/her vision become reality. | |||
| In the end SCOBY finally explains the participant how to keep the project going. | |||
| (How to produce four new starter kits for a new circuit of the procedure - "back to stage 1.") | |||
| ==Exhibition== | |||
| The BioArt exhibition in Berlin will include an excerpt of the whole process. | |||
| Part 1: | |||
| SCOBY appears on a screen and speaks directly to the viewer. | |||
| It talks about different perspectives on "the world" and our everyday environment. | |||
| The viewer is asked to participate - to join a 6 hours - collaboration with SCOBY. | |||
| Part 2: | |||
| SCOBY introduces the participant to three simple exercises. | |||
| These exercises are performed inside the exhibition space. | |||
| The exercises enable the participants "sensitization mode". | |||
| This mode lasts for six hours. | |||
| Part 3: | |||
| The participant is now prepared to develop and apply a personal vision of change. | |||
| This has to be done within the next six hours - until the sensitization mode ends. | |||
| The change has to stay as long as possible. | |||
| The participant documents his change and shares the picture/video/sound file online by tagging it with a certain # tag. | |||
| Everything will be set up on a table including a screen, headphones and a media player. | |||
| Besides that there will be a glass jar holding a piece of Scoby and some liquid.  | |||
