The blobs keep growing as I add more oats.

It's so unusual seeing a single cell get this big. And look at the pattern on the center.

Step 3 - It's Alive!

Slime mold woke up and moved out of its paper and onto the oat. It's nomming and growing now.

The two original sclerotia didn't activate, so I used 4 samples more with slightly different conditions. 2 of them are doing great, the others not so much.

I didn't properly measure or jot any data down, so this isn't Science, but now I have a general idea of how this works and I can go for precision next time.

8 year olds are better at this than me.

Kombucha scoby research with reclaimed frake noir 💦

Finding ways working with this material is been an interesting process, i learn to let go of expectations and outcomes as this co-creature or living material will take the lead. Is it a reflection or symptom of my circumstances? Maybe..

Step 2

The Physarum (I'm going to need 2 nicknames, feel free to contribute) was dormant on dry paper in its sclerotium form. I cut two pieces and added two drops of water to resurrect them. And some oats for breakfast.

Now we wait. Good luck, Phil and Phyllis.

Step 1

Preparing a couple of Agar petris for an art excercise. I'll be trying to grow Physarum polycephalum.

Considering this is my first attempt to kinda bioart, this could go from very wrong to somewhat not terrible. But it'll be fun sharing some pics.

"Voice of Nature sits on the intersection of environmental awareness art and bio art. (...) Using environmental sensors it generates 1,600 data points to create a data visualisation that shows how the tree feels in real time about the environmental changes happening around it."
