Image created as a logo for Artificial Life XI: The Eleventh International Conference on the Simulation and Synthesis of Living Systems (http://alifexi.alife.org/) From the introduction to the Proceedings: “We chose to promote the conference with an image that is in some sense itself an example of artificial life: a real organism artificially encouraged to […] Faecal samples have been plated on chromogenic UTI-agar. The large pink colonies are E. coli, the small blue are enterococci and the clear slimy ones are Pseudomonas. The colours have been manipulated using the freeware GIMP, and then a small square of the large picture have been cut out, multiplied and re-assembled like […] The first two images show the changes that occur when E. coli O157:H7 strains are exposed to sublethal concentrations of the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin induces cell elongation, also called filamentation. In addition, the cipro causes the bacteria to become more “sticky” and they line up forming interesting patterns, almost woven like a […] PatrÃcia Noronha is a visual artist and has a PhD in Biology. Actually she has a post-Doc grant in artistic studies, from FCT, and uses a microbiology laboratory as na art studio at Instituto de Tecnologia QuÃmica e Biológica (ITQB), from Universidade Nova de Lisboa. She works with microbial pigments […] I am experimenting with a feature to allow visitors to submit their own microbial art. This is still in the test phase, so bear with me. If you have some art to share, feel free to submit it — note that this is fully moderated, and that you should only handle microbes with proper […] Three outstanding new galleries have been added: Dr. James Shapiro Susan Boafo Bioglyphs And don’t forget to check out the other artwork under More art. The diversity of uses of microbes in creating art continues to amaze. I am pleased to introduce several more featured artists, including JoWOnder, Heather Barnett, iGEM Team Osaka, and Erno-Erik Raitanen. Niall Hamilton has also contributed even more amazing images, and be sure to see the list of more art that continues to expand. […] |
