- | =====proposal: bacteria as a reflecting shield, source of energy===== | + | **Applied photosynthesis** |
+ | bio art, design and application of photosynthesis for renewable energy and sustainable technology | ||
+ | http:// | ||
+ | From Jan. 1, 2018 to Jan. 1, 2022 | ||
+ | Keywords: bioenergy bacteria photosynthesis | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Description of the challenges faced by the Tech Project** | ||
+ | project technology include microbial fuel cells, living photosynthetic colonies that produce electricity and can power small devices. challenges will be to increase the power output per area, stability of systems besides technology include biosolar cells, solar panels constructed of biological, photosynthetic enzymes, operating on electrodes to produce electricity, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Brief description of technology** | ||
+ | photosynthetic organisms and their molecular machinery are being probed for solar fuels and solar electricity generation in a sustainable, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **What the project is looking to gain from the collaboration and what kind of artist would be suitable** | ||
+ | objectives are to investigate speculative designs or proof of principle designs of biosolar cells, microbial fuel cells, or applied photosynthesis in general. These futuristic machines take the science of bioelectronics, | ||
+ | |||
+ | **Resources available to the artist** | ||
+ | artists will get an official guest status of the university which include access to the university building and labs, internet and email connections. resources are access to a bio art wet lab, makers lab which include lasercutter, | ||

+ | =====Proposal: bacteria as a reflecting shield, source of energy===== | ||
The Intelligent Guerrilla Beehive is a bio-art project researching green energy and biosensors made by symbiotic bacteria. The results of the ongoing research are applied to the Intelligent Guerrilla Beehive and tested with living bee colonies in urban settings. | The Intelligent Guerrilla Beehive is a bio-art project researching green energy and biosensors made by symbiotic bacteria.

- | A biofilm is an association of micro-organisms in which microbial cells adhere to each other on living or non-living surfaces within a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance. Biofilm formation is a cooperative group behaviour that involves bacterial populations living embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix. In biology, quorum sensing is a system of stimuli and response correlated to population density. … Many species of bacteria use quorum sensing to coordinate gene expression according to the density of their local population. Genes encode proteins and proteins dictate cell function. Therefore, the thousands of genes expressed in a particular cell determine what that cell can do. | + | < |

+ | R&D to be conducted at the Hybrid Forms lab: | ||
+ | Research the bacterial biofilm on the outer shell of the beehive as a source of energy that can power small devices as T° and humidity sensors in the beehive. Therefore, I want to study different strains of bacteria. The work in the Hybrid Forms lab can be combined with the research (on pigmented bacteria) I conduct at the Open BioLab of Erasmushogeschool in Brussels. | ||

+ | =====The sensory dimension of materials===== | ||
+ | Transmutation of the characteristics and properties of materials, due to -among other things- bacteria (biofilms). | ||
+ | Material qualities = the qualities that influence the way we experience a material and collect sensory information from it, e.g. warm or cold, heavy or light, | ||
+ | The material communicates ideas and approaches, it forces us to think, feel and act in certain ways; it facilitates and improves functionality and use. (cfr. Domus 1027, Sept.2018 - p119) | ||
