GMU:Beziehungsmuster: Umwelten der Kryptogamen Flora

Werkmodul Fachmodul
Lecturer(s): Klaus Fritze
Credits: 4 SWS
Date: Mondays 15.15-18.30
Venue: DIY Biolab @ Marienstraße 7b, Room 202
First meeting: 10.10.2022

Künstlerische Forschungen zur Kryptogamen Botanik (Moose, Flechten, Farne, Algen, Pilze) und zu festen und vorübergehenden Beziehung zwischen solchen Spezies in Ihren Umwelten. Besonderer Fokus liegt auf der Verbreitung von Flechten im urbanen Raum, der besonderen Beziehung zwischen Algen und Pilzen. Weiterhin werden Wurzelknöllchen und Mykorhizza-Beziehungen ((Pflanze x Bakterien x Pilze) vorgestellt und studiert. Pflanzengallen, Misteln und das Zusammenwachsen zweier Pflanzen bei Pfropfungen sind weitere Beispiele für solche innigen Beziehungen. In Labor und Feldversuchen/Exkursionen können Kulturexperimente auf selbst gestalteten Habitaten initiiert und Versuchsanordnungen (z.B. Einsatz von Biosensorik) konstruiert werden. Insbesondere soll eine forcierte Flechtenansiedlung an einer Gebäuderuine am Rand von Weimar in den Blick genommen werden. Projekte von Studierenden werden praktisch und theoretisch unterstützt.

Engl. Beschreibung der Lehrinhalte

Relationship patterns: Artistic Research for togetherness and growth of species in their „Umwelt“

Artistic Research of cryptogamic botany (Moss, Lichen, Algae, Fungi, Ferns) with a special focus on transient and long-lasting interspecies connections in the environment. We are especially curious about the spreading and growth of Lichen in the urban environment of Weimar, the extraordinary relationship and merge of algae and fungi partners to form Lichen is a remarkable example of togetherness in nature. In the field, we will observe further inter-species relations and will discuss character, adaptations, and usefulness for the partners. Further examples: Mycorhizza, Nitrogen fixation plant bacteria housing projects, genetic colonization in crown Galls, mistletoe, and merges developed by grafting. On Laboratory and field experiments we will design useful habitats and experimental set up i.e introducing biosensoric for monitoring life. Projects are advised and supported individually on request.

Meetings

24.10 Intro über Beziehungsmuster in Natur und Umwelt. Was sind kryptogame Organismen, wie arbeiten sie in der Umwelt zusammen, welche Arten von Kommunikation, Zusammenleben und Zusammenwachsen sind bekannt und wie werden diese Wechselwirkungen erforscht. Vorstellung der wissenschaftlichen und künstlerischen Arbeit von Klaus Fritze und Kollegen, Künstlerische Forschungen und transiente Rauminstallationen von 1999-2022 dazu einige links: Homepage des Künstlers https://www.klausfritze.de Instagramm Account:

Material

1. SYMBIOGENESIS By Heather Scoville (Updated on November 24, 2019)

Symbiogenesis is a term in evolution that relates to the cooperation between species in order to increase their survival. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-symbiogenesis-1224708

2. ENDOSYMBIOTIC THEORY The endosymbiotic theory, which holds that eukaryotic mitochondria and plastids arose from the engulfment and integration of a bacterium by another cell, has long been a matter of controversial debate, but growing evidence over time has led to the substantiation and universal acceptance of the theory. Recent genetic and biochemical analyses have provided detailed insights into the fundamental events that happened more than a billion years ago. In 1905, Konstantin Mereschkowsky, a prominent Russian biologist, published his piece of work in “The nature and origins of chromatophores in the plant kingdom” where he proposed that the photosynthetic organelles of plants (plastids, chromatophores) originate from unicellular algae that live in a symbiotic relationship with their host cells.  Plastids are symbionts rather than cell organelles Mereschkowsky was a leading lichenologist and his theory was inspired by his work on lichens where he had shown that lichens are symbiotic organisms composed of fungi and algae. Four years later in 1909, Mereschkowsky presented his theory of symbiogenesis according to which higher, i.e. more complex cells evolve from the symbiotic relationship between less complex ones. He came up with some astonishing conclusions: "Chlorophyll bodies (i.e. plastids) can grow and divide independently of the nucleus, and produce substances synthetically; in short they do not behave like organs at all, but like independent organisms and must therefore either be regarded as such or as symbionts."
