Lecturer: Mindaugas Gapševičius
Tutor: Antje Danz
Credits: 6 ECTS, 4 SWS
Date: Thursdays 09:15-12:30
Venue: Marienstraße 7b, Biolab (Room 202)
First meeting: Thursday, 7 May 2020; 09:15-12:30


The theme of the course is a reference to the well known biblical saying about a mountain, which, if not moved would invite to move oneself. The saying means openness to whatever input, and ability to adjust to the way things are. In the upcoming course, we will study interactive settings between organisms and ourselves, build situations for organisms to move the way we want. Still, to force organisms to move the way we want would not necessarily become truth, therefore, the final goal of the course is rather to understand the interactive settings between different types of organisms, including ourselves.

While working in our homes we will have a focus on two organisms: a slime mold physarum polycefallum, and a flagellate euglena gracilis. Students will be provided with organisms, and tools to develop their ideas. Students with specific needs will be directed to available methods and resources.

No special skills are required to participate in the course. Participation at the Big Blue Button Online-Seminar (see below)
