Toolkit
The project provides tools that invite the user to explore their own relationships with organisms and to grasp invisible creatures surrounded by the outer world. By using SCOBY as a metaphor for the complex organization of microorganisms, the experimentation reflects on the role of a single organism in relation to its environment.
How to best understand the complex behavior between non-living things and living organisms? What is their interaction and how does it become symbiosis? The experienced symbiosis aims at further discussions of evolution, the diversity of organisms, and, finally, the interaction between chemical compounds of living organisms and non-living tissues.
My gratitude goes to Dr. Brian Degger, Dr. Julian Chollet, Dr. Mirela Alistar, and Juan Pablo Diaz, who collaborated while executing DIWO experiments on symbiosis. The project was kindly supported by the Nordic Culture Point and by the Lithuanian Council for Culture.
