Project Description/Abstract

In which I'm attempting to use bioluminescent micro-alga P. lunula in a video-projected, sound-reactive, bio-art installation. I'm acquiring many new skills in order to see this project through, and I hope to amass some DIY-Bio techniques and protocols along the way as well.

Notes

• Current challenges:
  • Create a sensitive sound transducer
  • Quantify light emissions from algae grown in varying conditions
• Other tasks:
  • Continue to propagate algae
