"URBANFLOW.art" #Physarum #Simulation

So my research and development is bearing fruit:
Today I tried out using my new physarum force with SDF-text in the form of our Media·Art studios name UrbanFlow.art
And together with several other forces this turned out beautiful!

"Stream of Consciousness" · Physarum simulation

From a diffuse field of feelings, ideas and outer impulses our mind creates streams, fields and rivulets of ideas and thoughts.
Some solve complex problems, some decide what to wear or eat, most are circular movements without a real purpose.

Quantum fields dancing.

The bottom one doesn't look so hot, I think I overdid it with the oats and some local is overcompeting it, looks fuzzy around the edges.

So:
- don't pile more food than it can chew
- use air filters (I'll try parafilm) and sterilize your tools better

#physarum

Top petri with a blob doing fine. Bottom petri with more oats than blob.

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.

#Physarum #slimeMold #bioart

Close shot. Petri dish. Triangular piece of paper where the yellow slime mold woke up and started moving. To the right, two oats are covered by it, to the bottom, a bunch of oats are half covered already. Between these two masses, an intricate pattern of tubes connecting them.

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.

#Physarum #bioart

Plastic petri dish with a base of agar. To the right, a square piece of white paper where the mold used to be. To the left, 2 oats have been covered with the bright yellow slime mold, wich is expanding in two overlapping circles.

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.

#Physarum #bioart #biology #SlimeMold

One petri dish with a pice of wet paper with Physarum, hopefully, in the process of coming back to life.

I added a bunch of oats to this one to see what happens.

Everything's over a layer of agar that looks dusty, but it's just a lot of tiny air bubbles.A smaller Physarum, with only two oats.

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.

Myxomycetes in the wild! Gelukkig waren de medewandelaars snel overtuigd van hoe cool Le Blob wel is en konden we gewoon 10 minuten blijven bewonderen. De stam zat helemaal vol: 'n gelukkige slijmzwam :blobheart: #microbiology #myxomycetes #Physarum #leBlob

The yellow slime mold seems to be exploring some dead leaves sticking to the woodBright yellow fruiting bodies on tiny brown stalks on wet dead wood. Yellow plasmodium showing it's map like growth on the right side of the picture.

@boggodan lookit. Took "mould / mold" a bit too literally - pesky #ML! 😅 #DirectVisions #physarum #visionsofchaos 2022-01-21 15:26:00 UTC

@kf @Pikselfest

In this recorded twitch stream from the PIKSEL 21 festival is an interesting presentation form Sarah Grant.

twitch.tv/videos/1210930055

The talk starts at 1 hour 50 minutes in this stream with te title "networks as material"
After 5 minutes of introduction it gots very interesting.
In 1:55 its about Physarum polycephalum. Real world experiments with this slime mold Physarum she made.

Quand tout à coup, traversant la terrasse du "centre de village", indescriptible, indestructible… un blob !
(cris d'effrois dans ton fil 😜 ) Physarum polycephalum.
