Idea

Got the idea of comparing the movement of people in a shopping mall with the movement of microorganisms I found inside a bromelia plant. Here is the result after searching for a way of representing the movement of humans and microorganisms in order to facilitate the comparison between them.

Here is the final result, a video of about a minute in which and abstraction of microorganisms movement (yellow left) can be compared with an abstraction of movement of people (green right)

Research

The first step I took was to search for as much information as possible on nematodes and euglena. Here are the links to some of the videos I liked the most:

How do Flagelates move

I found interesting the different ways in which euglenas move, It reminded me of leaves falling from trees, and though about doing an installation of forms like euglena that hanging, move with each airwave.

How nematodes are captured and eaten

-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6g3OjkhClE

Facts about nematodes

-Nematodes and some diseases some of them may cause on plants and humans https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrogAKO3dhI

I considered the idea of coming up with new species of nematodes based on emotional or psichological situactions, kind of like "butterflies in the stomach" but with nematodes, and describing their way of action based on the way they (emotional or psichological situactions) unfold.

Different elements and textures seen under the microscope

Some images I got from experimenting with the microscope with objects found at home during quarantine:

Trash can perspective

Euglenas look like a plastic bag full of vegetables, took pictures for several days of the inside of our home garbage can... if "you are what you eat" the "homemade euglenas " would be somehow a self portrait.

Took about recreating takes of euglenas seen in the microscope with images of the "homemade euglenas"

Trash bags drawings

Drawings of garbage bags seen in the street

People walking

People moving through open scenarios.

Microorganisms I found inside a bromelia plant:

video 1

video 2

also found a mosquito larva:

Challenges

Walkers: after searching for a place where I could get a view of people moving similar to the on ethe microscope gives of microorganisms, got some takes from a shopping mall

video

The challenge then was to represent as accurate as possible the movement with dots
