Prepare 6 petri dishes. If bacteria is not colorful, try coloring bacteria. Place dark paper under the petri dish and LED to lit it up in order to get shining stars.
Following the protocol of process the activities.
- Six Medium dishes with agar / Peptone / Extract Yeast mixture environment as preparation for growing bacteria.  
- Collect microbes from bacteria breeding spot of landmarks such as library, dorm, the main building, Getting by cutting sponges and drew with cotton swabs on each surface of six agar plates.
- Use coloured gel somehow to make it more like a artificial pattern.
ps: still leaves the question about methods to make it coloured.  
- Place Building sketch map under petri dishes and mark each place with sinogram.

Cultivate the pattern series using known Salmonella, Ecoli, Streptococcus, etc and unknown bacterias which were collected from several landmarks of the university. Inspired by a piece of artwork made by Graig Ward from an American art group who's research on basis of a society legend that using handrails on subways feels like a method of shaking hands with 100 people.

Following the protocol of process the activities. - Six Medium dishes with agar / Peptone / Extract Yeast mixture environment as preparation for growing bacteria. - Collect microbes from bacteria breeding spot of landmarks such as library, dorm, the main building, Getting by cutting sponges and drew with cotton swabs on each surface of six agar plates. - Use coloured gel somehow to make it more like a artificial pattern. ps: still leaves the question about methods to make it coloured. - Place Building sketch map under petri dishes and mark each place with sinogram.
