Initial Thoughts and Materials Regarding Sustainable Aesthetics

Developing Experimental Sustainable Art Materials and Ways for Art, Design, and Architecture

As the Anthropocene unfolds, artists, designers, and architects must develop new ways to coexist and live a more sustainable lifestyle within harmony. Throughout this project, I aim to explore how experimental materials can positively affect art and design practice and how they can benefit not only the artist or architect but also the environment in which they are implemented.

In the end, I am planning to use all my experimental materials for my potential artwork. My artistic interest is to explore the aesthetic potential of microbial cellulose (MB) and to consider its philosophical implications with regard to leaking, growing hybrid bodies. Along the way, this project will help me to improve my DIY cultivating techniques.

MB is a natural polymer which resembles skin and bodily matter. Once dried, it reminds of paper and leather. It is produced by Glucoacetobacter hansenii (G. hansenii) bacteria, a non-pathogenic bacterial strain.
