We are searching for materials that address uncertainties, ambiguities, and imagination linked to non-linguistic microbial communication. Through an experiment-driven work process we intend to create a visual language that challenges the dominance of techno-scientific and science fiction imagery and that carefully balances imagination and the extraordinary with factual technical knowledge. If we later place these materials in an installation, they could allow the visitor to experience and engage with bio scientific discoveries related to microbial bodies and their communication.
The current experiments explore materials such as skin glue (image: 1-8) and fish glue (image:9).
