Objectivity [tentative]
Objectivity [tentative] explores the intersection of Art, Science and Technology. Using various settings to visualize the "chemical tweets" of microorganisms as exceptionally beautiful and rare image patterns.
Inspired by the research and the work of Professor Eshel Ben Jacob from Tel Aviv University, of "The Social Life of Bacteria", exploring complex network and communication systems of a "smart" microorganism bacterium. Specifically inspired by his research of the P. vortex bacterium known for its advanced social behavior, reflected in development of colonies with highly complex architecture structures.
This body of work looks into biological systems of self-organization, and collective decision making, the immense complexity within seemingly simple structures, and the process of achieving dramatically varied results with slight alterations in initial settings.
The Soundscapes
The Soundscapes series, part of the body of work Objectivity [tentative]
Looks into morphogenesis and the complex social behavior and decision making of microorganisms using sound waves and a range of frequencies to visualize these complex architecture structures.
Sound to Shape
Sound to Shape, part of the Soundscapes series, is a performance and an Installation with live microorganisms, sound and bare-speakers. Conducting biological experiments with a live sound performance to initiate the artwork. Audio waves are, transmitted through the liquid agar-medium as it solidifies, forming sound-generated topographies for the bacterium to grow on.
These processes, often made in the confines of a biology lab, are performed live in a gallery space and shared with the public.
The installation at the gallery space includes a showcase display table with petri-plates created during the live-performance, bacteria seeded at the gallery space, for audiences to witness while it grows during the exhibition, and a wall display showcasing previously made petri-plates with pure sound tones.
