Microbial Skins

The object of this research piece was to experiment with organically composing the growth structures of several molds and bacterias in a petri dish with the intent of creating a visually appealing array of living textures, shapes, and colors that are photographically documented. Funded in 2021 and 2022 by juried grant selection by the University of West Florida's Office of Undegraduate Research department.

CONSTRUCTING TURBIDITY SENSOR MECHANISM

2022

Eco Lab

Students and professors of courses Advanced Interactive Electronic Art (ART4633C) and Molecular Ecology and Bioinformatics (PCB4125) at the University of West Florida are collaborating to study the relationship of turbidity with aerobic anoxygenic phototroph populations in local waterways. The goal of this project is to improve upon the current turbidity sensor prototype developed by Professor Asmuth.
