The experiment invites participants to experience interspecies communication and feedback loops between mycelium networks and their habitats, including other organisms and beings. It also proposes the examination of a new networked imaginary between electrochemical signals, digital data, and electromagnetic waves.

Have you ever thought about a genome encoded in DNA? What invisible features are hidden in your body? What diseases might you potentially have? The theme introduced during the experiments is conceptually wrapped and speculated about in the toolkit “How I prepare myself to be cloned.”

Microprocessors implanted in a human, or prostheses mounted on a human might be driven by ultra low voltages gained from the human body. Ultra low voltages could also be used for charging devices like watches or phones. But how about using the gained voltages for leisure? Or creative processes?

Experimentation unfolds through the investigation of SCOBY, shit and humus, which raises questions: What does symbiosis really mean? How can we understand the complex interaction between microorganisms, plants and animals? How is self-organization related to being alive? Continue reading “SCOBY, Shit and Humus @ MO”

Workshop with Mindaugas Gapševičius, and Mirela Alistar

Thursday 7th March 2019. 15-18h and 19h30-21h
Friday 8th March 2019. 10-13h
at ruine hq, Ihmeplatz7e, Hanover

The workshop with Mirela Alistar and Mindagaus Gapševičius invites the audience to explore their own symbiotic relationship with organisms inside and outside themselves. By using SCOBI – a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast – and other samples from the surroundings of ruine hq as metaphors for the complex organization of microorganisms in the environment, the workshop reflects on the role of a single organism in relation to its habitat. What does symbiosis really mean? How can we understand the complex interaction between microorganisms, plants and animals? How is self-organization related to being alive?

Members of the TOP Association in collaboration with members of the mikroBIOMIK Society and guests teamed up for the investigation of SCOBI, shit, and humus. The hands-on tinkering and curiosity-driven research in the premises of the association earlier this year raised more questions than answers. What does symbiosis really mean? How can we understand the complex interaction between microorganisms, plants and animals? How is self-organization related to being alive?
