Being a Unicellular Organism
What is it like to be a unicellular organism? How do peers interact with other peers of the same species? We will take a look at the different unicellular organisms: Kombucha bacteria, slime molds, Euglena. As we look at them and care for them, we will try to understand how they interact in the environment. The block seminar will take place over two weekends at DIY Biolab. The first weekend we will look at artwork using the organisms, try to understand the organisms themselves, and learn how to cook a medium for them. The second weekend is reserved for discussion, development and documentation of your ideas.
Result: individual experiments and sketches of ideas that can lead to a comprehensive project. |
