This blog will be following our progress over the next few weeks as we research artistic ideas and their scientific plausibility. Our aim: to help create a hopefully unique and eye catching piece that represents the work of all the life-science departments.

The blog's been a little quite lately due to exams and other things that me and Jessica have had to attend to after the end of the Easter, however, I'm now making a rather overdue post to document some updates of our progress.</div>

<u><b>The Algae Plates </b></u><br />

The plates have really taken off and are starting to grow really nicely.
Annette did some new ones as well which really show off what the algae can do
when applied more thickly. The red and green varieties gave quite different
effects. The single celled green type seems much more effective for defined
lines and grows much faster than the filamentous red type. The filamentous
variety does also have quite a nice look in the right context and the two types
seem to grow quite happily together. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Below are two quite bad attempts of drawing cats with algae! The different
properties of the algae types are quite well shown here. The red filamentous
type has very little of any kind of defined line.</div>

Annette went down to the glassblowers to see whether she could turn the old
test tubes into hang able ornaments. As shown from the pictures below, it was
indeed possible to fashion a small loop on the top of a tube so it could be
hung up. It was however impossible to make them into rings like I had suggested
because the heat would destroy the algae if applied that close.</div>

In the initial trials the procedure also failed because the algae
were destroyed by reacting with nitrogen which resulted in it losing its
colour. This problem was solved by back-filling the tubes with argon. Argon
being a noble gas is very unreactive and prevented this unfortunate bleaching
effect from happening. The tubes were then sealed and a loop was added. Despite
not being rings, I still think they're effective and remind me of wind chimes.
They could be interesting to use in some sort of mobile.</div>

The algae didn't take to the tube at all for some reason.
This seems peculiar because algae often seem to grow in unwanted places and on
plastic all the time when you don’t want it to! All I can speculate is that
because this tube was for brewing, perhaps it’s been treated so that algae
wouldn't grow on it as this would be problematic for its actual purpose. </div>

Growing the fungi on agar plates seemed to be quite successful.

Lastly, sadly we had no positive response from the ants. For
an unknown reason they did not burrow in the gel, so unfortunately we have no
pictures as of yet of this trial.

Due to term time having started, we unfortunately have a significant
reduction in the time which we can dedicate to the project. We are however
still continuing our progress whenever we can spare an hour to do so and this
post is for the collective progress of the last week.</div>

<u><b>Algae Updates </b></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On Tuesday we went to visit Annette to see how the algae plates were
progressing. The drawn lines were certainly showing up and we were told that
underneath the microscope filaments and small amounts of colour were starting
to become visible. Unfortunately, to the naked eye there was very little to no
colour in most of the plates so far, but it's a good start. When the algae were
drawn onto the plates they were spread very thinly, so it's likely they just
need a bit of time to become more established. We will come and check on their
progress again in a week’s time and for now, left all the plates to grow in the
lab as it was warmer than the basement. They would probably grow slightly
faster in this environment, although so far the different locations had shown a
very negligible difference in growth.</div>

pretty splendid array of colours. </div>

The red algae, which are in life quite brown,
had formed very bright shades of pinks and purples, while the green algae had
formed shades of blue and turquoise. These colours had stained the glass around
where the top of the solution would have formally been and had formed some very
interesting and pretty patterns. These colours would be mostly permanent accept
for been possibly faded by the sunlight over time and as they were dead, little
maintenance for a display would be necessary. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Annette said that they could be sent to the
glassblower to remove the desired sections of the tubes and I thought that they
could be made into rings or beads. For the spheres they could be made into
beads and then threaded through an internal connection of wires within the
sphere.</div>

Another situation of where algae have been used in containers to make a sort of artwork.<br />

We also put algae into our plastic tubing this day. It was filled up
completely and then in around a week’s time, it will be drained. By this time a
sufficient amount of algae should have started growing on the plastic itself and
we can observe its progress over time.<br />

Work on the flower and bee model continued throughout the week. By the end the bee had almost reached completion, but the flower still has some work left to go. Pictures of this progress will be uploaded next week.<br />
<br />
And lastly, Jessica made this video of our progress and I forgot to link it in the last blog post of two, so here's that and apologies for the short post!<br />

There’s not a lot to say about these two days accept work, work and more
work! This Thursday and Friday we dedicated almost exclusively to producing the
large model flower and bee for the Fascination of Plants day and Festival of
Nature. Below are some photos of our work in progress.</div>

Jessica made a wire frame for every petal which could be inserted inside so
that they could all be internally connected and not flop. Here I'm applying
some pressure to the flower’s centre to make the petals stand more firmly.
We'll have to find a way to devise this look permanently when all the flower
parts are finally attached together. The UV paint arrived on Friday and so we
did start to use it to paint the petals, however, it was unfortunate that
despite our efforts the paint did not take well to the petal’s surface. It did disappear
and caused barely any change in texture which is what we wanted, but as the
petal material was not at all absorbent the paint was very reluctant to stick
to it, giving some very ugly paint streaks rather than a smooth covering.
Furthermore, we only had a small UV torch to help us see where paint had been
applied and it didn't work too well to show up the colour, therefore we were
left to mostly paint away blindly. Also, we hope it’s not the same under a UV
black light, but the colour seemed to be more pink than red which was a little disappointing.
We decided to give this task a break to see if we could devise a more practical
way of doing it later. </div>

Jessica took on the responsibility of
producing all the underlying wire structures. She also made this stand. On the
left is the wire structure, the right the finished stand which is covered with
felt. It's designed to be able to contain a small heater so that the flower
will show on infra-red cameras as well as in ultra-violet light, again
replicating a real flower.</div>

Here I'm making the flower’s centre.
First of all I sewed some of the left over white material to a wire structure
made by Jessica. I then painted the surface yellow and cut in half many small polystyrene
balls so that they could be stuck to the surface to mimic the bobbley
appearance of a daisy's centre. Unfortunately, we grossly underestimated how
many we would need, so we'll have to buy more later. </div>

As for the bee, its fluffy body was cut out and sewn. We decided to discard
the internal wire structure this time as it was becoming a bit of a hindrance,
and instead decided to opt for stuffing it with the left over fabric. We also
started making the legs and a band for the middle to distinguish between the
bee’s abdomen and thorax.</div>

As well as constructing the flower, a few other things happened in the last
couple of days. One was that the ants finally arrived and we put them in the
farm. The instructions however did say that the ants would not start burrowing
for 48hours, so we’ve yet to see any progress. We'll return to check on them
next week to see how they're doing.</div>

First thing this morning, Jessica went to some of the departments within
biology to take photos of their work. The purpose of this was to give us some
further inspiration by collecting information on some of the current research. A lab Jessica visited was investigating the wheat genome and there she took photos
with Mark Winfield of a next generation sequencing machine for PCR. The plating
and sequencing rooms were kept separate to help ensure that there was no
cross-contamination. It was an interesting insight into how technology has
progressed, from once only been able to sequence 100 samples at any one time to
1500 samples. Further details of this plus the photos from all the research we've managed to get a glimpse at will be compiled in its own post.</div>

In the afternoon we went for our appointment with Annette. In our absence she had produced 3 new spheres, this time ensuring they were completely dry on the inside, but she hadn't autoclaved them to save time.</div>

One of the spheres Annette swirled agar around to try and make a pattern and then inoculated it with algae; the second, she dotted agar onto the glass and then inoculated the dots. This was practically quite difficult and many dots were missed as she simply couldn't reach them. To help solve this problem, the third flask she mixed agar with the algae before hand and dotted it onto the glass. It did however make the agar have some problems setting.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Aside from these experiments with the flasks, Annette had very kindly prepared us 20 plates (half at a 1.2% concentration and the other half at 1.4%). With these plates we would use various tools to spread algae into artistic patterns. We used two types of algae, a red species called planktothrix and a green kind called microcystis. The microcystis is in essence a weed, a hardy species that would more a less grow on anything. Therefore the agar medium we used was suited for the fussier planktothrix.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
After playing around with what sort of effects and precision we could attain, we sealed all the plates and split them up to grow in two different areas. We mixed them up randomly and set half on the windowsill in the lab and the other half in the growth room in the basement. The growth room was kept at 15 degrees and was constantly lit, so the conditions were very controlled. Annette predicted that the algae would probably have started to grow by Tuesday next week, so we arranged to meet up with her at 1pm on that day to check on their progress.</div>

The mushroom kit also arrived today. Annette gave us some plates to test some of the mushroom spores' growth in agar, as we thought this would look more attractive in a sphere than the growth material in the kit. One of the mediums was BG11, a multi-nutrient agar. The other was Chlorella soil extract. The material in the mushroom kit itself was quite fussy in how you had to prepare it. We needes to add 3 litres of boiling water to the mushroom substrate and leave it to cool down for 8 hours before the spores could be added. We decided to do this and leave it over night for the best use of our ever dwindling time!</div>

We also researched and ordered some invisible UV paint for the flower model.
In order to buy the paint we needed to pick a colour, and for that we had to
make a final decision on what sort of flower we would try to recreate. The UV
paint was advised to be used on as pale a service as possible, so we decided to
choose something with white petals. The paint was also very expensive and so as
to remain within budget, we wanted a flower which wouldn't be too lavish in its
UV paint requirements. We eventually decided on 'Tripleurospermum maritimum' (shown
below), which fulfilled our criteria very well.</div>

Other errands of the day involved arranging a meeting with Penny at the
botanic gardens to look at some climbing plants at 2 o clock tomorrow, and
while waiting for the water to boil for the mushrooms, I started to make a
little sample of modrock fish scales to use up some more of the paint and make
use of the glitter we'd bought earlier. This idea was inspired by some of the
fish we had seen at the zoo. There had also been much discussion about the
material we would use to make the model flower. For awhile, thoughts had swayed
back to using plaster as we were without adequate sewing equipment, adequate paint
for use on fabric, or adequate time with which to experiment. However, we did
conclude that using some sort of fabric or plastic would give the best effect
and decided to meet at fabric land at 10am the next day to look at some
options. </div>

This morning we went to fabricland and found some very suitable material for
both the flower and the bee. The material we bought for the flower was some
white faux leather. It didn't give the floaty, light appearance of flower petals
but we did feel it would take the UV paint well, so it was a good compromise.
This did however give us the problem of where to obtain sewing equipment.
Jessica luckily had some pins, needles and some thread but we were lacking any
fabric scissors or a sewing machine, essential for the amount of sewing we were
intending on doing. Luckily, the faux leather in any case was a material that
didn't fray and responded reasonably well to the cheap scissors we had (although
I am yet to see how the bee’s fur fabric will react), but we still had the
problem of locating a sewing machine. After asking around, I was advised to go
to the drama department as they would be the most likely place in the
university to own one. I paid a visit but they were unable to help me out at
all as they were quite busy, there was however a very nice girl who had a
sewing machine she was willing to lend us. Thank you so much Antonia! You saved
the flower making project!</div>

Returning to the mushroom growing solution of yesterday, the water could now
be removed from the straw bag. Holes were made in the bottom of the bag and the
water was allowed to drain for half an hour. After this, the spore mixture was
crumbled and then mixed thoroughly through the substrate. Six holes were cut in
each side of the bag for the mushrooms to grow out of and then it was all
packed back into its box to keep the environment dark and the inner bag lining
moist. Spores were also added to the agar plates and also put into the box.</div>

After lunch, Jessica went up to the botanic gardens to meet Penny where she
was taken around the greenhouses. Many of the viewed plants were not suitable
for growth in the spheres as they required a very humid environment. There were
however some possible candidate species in the temperate greenhouse as these
grew at more suitable temperatures.<br />

We were given two cuttings of a plant called Tradescantia. This is a very
fast growing plant that we hear likes to climb around anything and everything.
We hope to see the cuttings grow relatively quickly in the lab.<br />

Meanwhile back at the lab, I was working on experimenting with how to make hte flower petals. I hand sewed a petal and put in some ruffles to try and mimic as much as possible the appearance of the flower in the photograph. The material is very unsuitable for putting in ruffles, but as i mentioned before, it was a comprimise for what material would best take the UV paint we had ordered. <br />

The petal turned out reasonably good, though i thought for the next time I'd make the pieces bigger, particually in the width as this would allow for
more ruffles. We finished up the day with general model making and
plans for how we would set about constructing the flower and bee properly which will
start tommorow.<br />

Today was a pretty quiet day as we're still waiting on a lot
of orders, but we did get a few things done. Below are some sketches of concept
designs for how i thought the algae idea could work. I drew images of plates in
a sphere as well as a smaller image of using little spheres. The internal
tubing could be filled with algae or simply coloured or just some cord. Each
plate or small sphere could harbour a different sort of algae giving a variety
in colour. These designs however may look too cluttered in practice. </div>

The ant equipment also arrived. It contained a gel which would provide the
ants with all the nutrients they would need to survive. The idea was that the
ants would burrow tunnels through the gel and that their creation could be used
as an art piece. To obtain some ants we decided to contact Nigel Franks by
email. He did get back to us but said that unfortunately they only used one
type of ant in the lab here and that they would be useless for what we wanted
them to do. He did say he could tell us how to dig up some ants (which the
product itself recommended) but that it would be a laborious process which
would take days and days. I assume that this would be the case as it’s currently
wet and cold and we're not aware of where there are any ant colonies, as well
as perhaps needing a particular type. I know that if it was summer and I was
back home it would be very easy to obtain some ants as I have a very large colony
under my back garden patio! We did however decide to take his advice and order
some from the internet which we hope to arrive soon.</div>

We went to Wilkinsons to see if they sold any climbing plants which we could
buy today and set up. Unfortunately they didn't have any but we discovered a
garden centre on the internet that isn't too far away. We are planning to take
a visit there next week hopefully to see if we can find anything.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally we arranged to speak with Melanie, a life science artist recommended
to us by Heather, at 10:00am tomorrow. We’ll be speaking with her on the phone
rather than Skype because she’s on the move and unavailable for a Skype
conversation.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
We spoke with Melanie in the morning to discuss any ideas and suggestions that
she may have for the project and ask for any advice she could give us in regards
of using living material in an art piece. Like Tomas, she said that she liked
the idea of running experiments in the spheres, as this would be more
interesting and engaging for the public. She felt that having models and structures
in particular would perhaps not be showing off what the department was all
about in such an engaging way. Unfortunately we feel as we did before that this
is simply not scientifically practical but I did think of a compromise
solution. When we were at the zoo, animals and plants were kept in their
displays and then there was an accompanying board outside to describe a little
bit about it. I thought that having displays in the sphere to represent the
research going on in the department, with a similar style board to explain its
representation for those who were interested, would be a nice idea. We also had
the idea from the start about having a changeable, experimental display sphere
in which people could display their work from time to time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Melanie also suggested the possibility of doing something a bit more related
to biochemistry, rather than growing things. Biochemical reactions may create a
range of interesting colours. Perhaps the spheres within spheres idea I had for
the algae would be suitable for this. Each small sphere could contain a
different coloured solution, representing different biochemical experiments.
This would probably be easy to maintain and produce.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
She also pointed out to us what we'd been thinking for quite awhile about
the timescale in which the art piece would be on display. This would be very
reflective of what could be used, as maintaining living things would be quite
costly over a long time period.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the conversation, we thought that to be able to better represent the
departments, it would be a good idea to go and visit them and take photos of
the research that was going on. Also, for things like more chemical based
reactions, we would be mostly unable to replicate those ourselves and it would
be a much better use of time to simply go to the relevant department and
take pictures for Tomas of what we could find. Jessica spent the afternoon
today sending emails to every department to request permission to go and take
photos of current research. </div>

With a lamp and a bit of sunlight, we finally got the solar power pump to work a little. We tried the motor on its side in the original container but it didn't work very well as it just pushed all the balls into one area where they clumped and stopped moving. Here we set up a system of the pump pushing upwards, causing the moss balls to rise and fall if the correct level of power was used.</div>

Today we also had a catch up with Heather to discuss our progress and where
to go next. She requested that we could also construct a large model flower and
bee for a display for public engagement, including the Fascination of Plants
day and the Festival of Nature.(Websites linked below).<br />

I had an idea that we could paint the flower in UV paint to illustrate how a
bee would see it. The idea seemed to be quite popular. Heather showed us this
website http://www.naturfotograf.com/UV_flowers_list.html which had many images
of flowers under UV and would certainly be a great help in selecting one to
base our model on. I've been running through ideas in my head of how best to
construct the flower. Initially we were thinking plaster. I didn't like the
idea of using modrock however because it doesn’t give a smooth finish due to
the fibres in it. Pure plaster on the other can be sanded down to be made
smooth and doesn’t have the lumps and bumps from the structural material to
begin with. However I thought that this media would be a bit heavy, stiff and
chunky for a giant flower. It would be a flower ornament and wouldn’t have the
realism in texture and weight.<br />
<br />
I thought the best material to use would be some sort of fabric. Fake,
fabric flowers are commonly made and I thought this was probably an idea worth
playing with. The main issue would be stiffening the structure in a giant
flower so that it didn't droop. I thought using interfacing or an internal wire
structure may work for this, while still preserving petal flexibility, which
plaster wouldn't do. The right sort of fabric would also give a closer
representation of a petals true sheen and hopefully a light, delicate look.
There are many online tutorials about how to make fabric flowers. This is an
example of one I looked at<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.simplyvintagegirl.com/blog/index.php/2010/05/29/tutorial-how-to-make-lovely-fabric-flowers/">http://www.simplyvintagegirl.com/blog/index.php/2010/05/29/tutorial-how-to-make-lovely-fabric-flowers/.</a><br />
<br />
How to get the UV colour is a bit more complicated. While getting UV paint
and even UV fabric paint isn't difficult, to get both a material and a paint or
dye that will produce a decent finish could be more complex. From my experience,
fabric paint can make a material stiff, rough and hard and isn’t at all
suitable for painting the entire surface. It can look very obviously painted.
The range of quality in fabric paint obviously varies and apparently there are
some types which exist which don't look or feel much more different than if the
material was dyed.<br />
<br />
UV fabric dye would certainly be preferable. With dye we could look at
applying the colour with tie-dye which when applied well can get very specific
patterns. Some of the UV patterns on the flowers seem to be very much made for
tie dye.<br />

Unfortunately however, such a product simply seems very difficult to obtain.
It does exist but it either seems very expensive, very specific for certain
types of material, or just very limited in terms of its use and colour. I did
read about Remazol Fluorescent Yellow FL, a dye made by a German company called
Dystar. This is a true dye which binds irreversibly with fabric, it also seems
to be flexible in the sort of fabrics it will bind to and is truly fluorescent.
However, apparently you can only buy it in quantities of 5 kilos or more which
is, I’ve read, very expensive. How expensive though I just don’t know as there seems
to be nowhere to buy it! There is a lot of talk on the internet about it but it
seems to be impossible to obtain. I went to the Dystar website but it doesn't
give me prices for any of its products and wants me to make an account to buy
anything. It seems to be rather secretive about its business. Dylon apparently
also used to make some sort of UV fabric dye as well, but once again I can't
find anywhere to purchase it, plus even if I could purchase it, apparantly it
works better on silk than cotton and doesn't work on synthetic materials at
all. Buying the necessary quantity of silk would probably cost an arm and a
leg. The material is wonderful to use but it’s just too expensive. We will most
likely end up using some sort of synthetic material, possibly a type of satin,
simply for the sake of the budget.<br />
<br />
Other ways of getting UV onto the material would be fabric paint, or
possibly spray paint may give a nice look, but this couldn't be applied with
tie-dye and probably wouldn't have the same nice finish. Furthermore, while it
seems easy enough to get invisible UV paint and visible UV fabric paint, it
seems to be hard to locate invisible UV fabric paint, which is what we want. My
searches also showed that such paints made the fabric stiff and hard.<br />
<br />
I'm going home this weekend and do have a range of material scraps, some
fabric paint and fabric dyes, so I intend to have an experiment with what sort
of material takes best to dyes and fabrics. There is also a possibility of
using fabric pens/markers. I'm very puzzled about the difficulty of finding UV
fabric dye; it doesn't feel like it should be such a rare product. I'm quite
sure UV hair dye is common enough so maybe I'm just not looking in the right
places.<br />
<br />
I find it quite amusing that I can obtain UV water dye
http://www.glowshop.com/product-p/uvwd50.htm but not fabric dye. If only we
could make a flower ice sculpture haha. The best UV product I could find today
was this: <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.uvpaint.co.uk/paint-usage-UVR.htm?gclid=CKmAx9TbwrYCFQrJtAodeXoAUQ">http://www.uvpaint.co.uk/paint-usage-UVR.htm?gclid=CKmAx9TbwrYCFQrJtAodeXoAUQ </a><br />
<br />
This paint came in a range of colours and dried clear in normal light. I assume
this implies that it could be overlaid onto another painted surface without
affecting the original colour, although the website stated that it worked best
on a light background. We could compensate for this by using a white or yellow
flower. There is however a problem in that using fabric would be difficult. The
point of the fabric was that it would give a weight and texture similar to a real
flower, the moment paint is applied it would lose these qualities. Unfortunately
I think we may have to look for some other sort of material to use. I had a
thought of using some sort of light, flexible plastic to cover the petals. This
would have the light, flexible nature of the fabric without the fibres.<br />

Applying paint on it however could mean that if the petals
were moved the paint may crack. This would particularly be an issue if a preliminary
paint layer was placed underneath the UV for the visible light colour. Although
moving the petals would not be a particular feature of the model, the fact it
may have flexible petals makes it a potential problem worth considering. Ways
to get around this could be to use material that was already coloured and then
use invisible UV spray paint if we could get it. This should make the model
much less prone to cracking and remove any general appearance of paint strokes.</div>

Despite the flower having lots of potential complications,
the bee seems to be quite easy in theory to construct. Jessica has already
started to create the underlying wire structure for the model. The furry parts
of the body should be easily replicable by using black and yellow fur fabric
which is quite easy to buy. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yesterday we decided to take a day out to visit the zoo to gather some inspiration for the artwork. Below are some of the photos we took, as well as captions describing some of the thoughts and ideas they gave us.</div>

Here are some pictures of aquatic species we looked at. To the left is a bladder-tip anemone and to the bottom right are simply 'upside down jellyfish' (yes they're really called that). Both these species gave a beautiful flowing movement and colour, something that would be really nice to replicate in the sphere. The fish here is a good example of iridescence. Replicating the appearance of these scales could be an interesting idea.</div>

These are some of the photos we took in the butterfly and bug houses. The beetle had a wonderful bright, purple colour that was very eye-catching. We also caught a photo of a locust just as it shed its skin! There is probably plenty of material that could be used to represent shed insect skins which could make an interesting piece of artwork. The butterflies also had some interesting patterns and stick insects are always fun to look at. In the bottom right is a cute photo of a couple of locusts : )</div>

Here are a few photos of plants we saw in some of the displays. The climbers here are examples of the sort of thing we thought could potentially be coerced into coiling around the support netting for the spheres.</div>

We found these lovely displays of metal dragonflies in the zoo, as well as an area on responsible waste disposal which had some artwork constructed of old rubbish. These were interesting displays of the various media with which artwork can be constructed from.</div>

Today we spent most of our time finishing off our models.
These pieces of work were experiments to show, in brief, what some inorganic
materials could do and their potential for making structures that could
represent biological ideas. All the models that we made were things where the
organic equivalent could not be used, in these cases, because the real version
is so tiny! </div>

Jessica also spent part of today sending out emails and looking at websites
for the purpose of ordering more equipment for the project and trying to
arrange to see more people. She called a lady called Hilary at the Botanic
garden to arrange a possible meeting with someone who could help us out with
selecting a good type of climbing plant. Hilary said that if we sent her an email
with all the information she would forward it to someone who would be more able
to help us. Hopefully we’ll get a response soon. We did do some independent
research in this area as well, looking on the internet at ivy and pea plants but
we weren’t sure with our lack of knowledge in this area about what to go for.
Considering our limited time, we want something that will grow as quickly as
possible, just so we can experiment with how it would coil around cord.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jessica also emailed another life-science artist called Melanie awhile back
to try and arrange a meeting to discuss ideas and directions. We got a reply
but unfortunately she is too busy for quite some time for an in-person
conversation. On the plus side however, she did agree to have a Skype chat with
us tomorrow. Jessica also briefly looked up David Glowaki, a chemist at Bristol
who has also worked with science/art, but in his case, in the form of dance.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lastly, we looked at ordering some iridescent tubes, but without much luck.
In one case the company would not ship the product outside of the US or Canada,
and in another the postage was about three times the price of the product
itself, which we considered too expensive.</div>

<![endif]-->We finished up the day with going to visit Annette once more to take a look
at our algae that we set up awhile ago. Unfortunately it hadn't particularly
grown at all. The agar was still reluctant to set on the glass and any algae
that had grown were in a small pool at the bottom of the flask. Annette kindly
said that she would try once more to get the agar to set properly, this time
using a flask that was dry on the inside, as we speculated before that it was
moisture that was preventing the agar from sticking. Annette also had a suspicion that maybe it wasn't sticking
because it was glass,and that it may do on plastic. We did however think that
we would have to be a bit more creative in our ideas for what would work with
the algae. Even if the next test showed that the agar would stick to the
outside of the flask, the practicalities of making this in large spheres and
maintaining them would be difficult. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In our search for new ideas, Annette showed us these plates in which algae
had been 'drawn' onto the agar using an inoculation loop. I immediately saw
potential in this idea. Using agar on a flat service both allowed for this
accurate technique of applying algae, as well as the ability to precisely swirl
the agar into patterns like we initially wanted. The plates are also long
lasting (the plate in the photo below had been made in October) and very easily
prepared. The question is how to transfer these algae grown on flat services
into spheres.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I came up with a couple of ideas of how we could get around this problem. My
first thought was that we could grow patterned algae onto large, flat sheets
and then suspend these sheets inside a sphere, (assuming the sphere could be
pulled into two halves for them to be inserted). However, Annette told me that
the agar may just slide off the sheets if they were held at an angle and visually
I decided I didn’t like this idea after all.</div>
<div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My second idea was to perhaps have a sort of netting inside this sphere as well
as outside it. In this netting, agar plates could be suspended. The agar plates
could contain all different kinds of algae of different colours and patterns.
This would be very easy to prepare and maintain. For a more aesthetically pleasing
version, we could use very small spheres instead of plates. In little spheres,
the fact that the algae<span> </span>was reluctant to
grow in a spherical container would probably not be so much of an issue and
having spheres in a net in a sphere in a net, would probably look very
interesting. </div>

We saw this green tubing awhile ago and it gave Jessica an idea then about
growing algae inside tubes. I thought that using very thin tubing filled with
algae would be a pretty and fitting way to construct the net or support in
which the plates or small spheres could be suspended.</div>

The photo of the flasks is showing the importance of getting air into the tubes
if we were to use this idea, and in general that there would need to be a small
amount of fresh air getting into the sphere itself for the algae to grow
properly. The flask on the left is where the container wasn't completely
airtight. The algae grew quite happily and made a beautiful green colour. In
the other case the flask was completely sealed and the algae struggled to grow,
the colour been dim.<br />

On Friday morning we went to see Tom Pitman in the experimental greenhouses
to discuss the practicalities of growing plants in spheres. Here we were
informed of some of the limitations and problems with incorporating them into
an artwork. These included that first of all we'd need to avoid deciduous
plants, as these would lose their leaves and wouldn't look very aesthetically
pleasing over winter. We also had to consider the practicalities of watering
the plants and then pruning them so that they didn't grow out of control. We concluded
that this sphere would need to be low-down and easily accessible to accommodate
for the essential maintenance. Our vision was that tendrils would eventually
coil around the wired supports and grow beautifully out of the sphere and
around the artwork. I had an idea that instead of planting in spheres, we could
grow climbing plants around the bases of the wired supports and have them coil
around those alone; maybe they could even climb up and coil around the banisters
in time. This would probably make maintenance a lot easier, plus we could use
the sphere for something else. Other factors to consider in choosing a species
would be the temperature and humidity of the atrium.</div>

Suggestions for possible climbers included the black pepper, cheese plants
and passion flowers. Air plants such as bromeliads and Spanish moss could also
be an option. These species do not root in soil and extract their required
moisture out of the atmosphere; the artist has also used them in previous work.
It would however require careful moderation of the sphere’s humidity to ensure
their survival. The discussion ended with a recommendation to talk to Penny
Harms as she may be able to help us at the botanic garden. Tom Pitman also
kindly said that he would give us a list of plants that were used on the wild walk
at the harbour side to help us in our research.</div>

Later on in the day we spent the a few hours working on our models. Jessica
had made great progress with hers during my absence, finishing both a
radiolarian and a clump of cocolithophores. In our time today she got ahead
with painting them, experimenting with a black and silver colour scheme for the
radiolarian. I still had a lot of modrock to apply on my beetle and spent till
near 3 o clock completing it to hopefully begin painting on Monday. Below are
some photos of our progress.</div>

I got a reply to my email to the sphere making company,
giving us a quote for the price of their products. They could make us a 200mm
diameter sphere, 3mm thick with a removable cap of clear polycarbonate for £43
(excluding VAT and delivery) or a 300mm diameter for £54. The company could unfortunately
not give us a guarantee that the product would survive the autoclaving
procedure however, just thoughts that it likely would. Feeling that these
prices were a little steep, especially with no guarantee of the product’s
hardiness, we decided to investigate the glass workshop attached to the
university. Unfortunately their glass blower was off sick this day but we had a
chat with someone else none the less to discuss options and will return sometime
next week for further enquiries. Getting the spheres from the university definitely
has a positive in that they'll know a lot more about autoclaving and could
likely tell us for certain how the material would behave under such conditions.
The company’s product however does seem very much what we do need and it would certainly
be worth considering for experiments where autoclaving was not an essential or
needed at all, (if the university workshop couldn't produce a similar product
for cheaper).</div>

Further developments over the last few days have also included quite a few
orders and more research for possible products we could obtain. Jessica ordered
for us a mushroom growing kit, to the left is an image of the type of mushrooms
it grows. The type we bought are perhaps not the most interesting variety,
however other species were both more expensive and had to be ordered from
abroad which drastically increased the delivery time. We found out after
ordering our beetle shells that they likely wouldn’t arrive until mid-May, so
we decided for the mushrooms to order something that would arrive quickly so we
could start growing as soon as possible.</div>

The moss balls have been a popular idea. Not only do they
look great but they are also beneficial for keeping water free of algae by
outcompeting them for nutrients. The first stand out problem as I mentioned in
my last post, was that while they look great when moving around, when they come
to a standstill in the water they don’t look quite so striking. This problem
will hopefully be fixed by Jessica's great idea to order a solar powered motor
to keep the water a little turbulent. We will be very much looking forward to
it arriving so we can try it out!</div>

During day 3 we started to gather materials for
testing out more of the art side of the project. We went out to buy various
materials from simple pencils and paper to metallic paint, wire and modrock. We
are hoping to experiment with creating several sculptures that could be
inserted into spheres or merely be used to decorate the net from the outside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amongst some of our ideas is to create models of
microbes. We are particularly interested in trying out diatoms and
radiolarians. Radiolarians in particular have a very interesting honeycomb-like
structure which we are also thinking we could connect with bees and create a
sort of two in one sculpture.</div>

Here are a few speed sketches of ideas of how I'd
go about making a model. In the first one of the diatom structure, I'm
considering putting a hollow tube through it so that a cord of some kind can be
inserted and therefore it can be hung up, or suspended in a sphere. Putting the
cord through the centre would evenly distribute the stress of its weight so it
hopefully wouldn't break. I'm thinking of trying out the idea with a simple cardboard
and paper base that’s then covered with modrock and metallic paint.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the radiolarian I'm considering using a
balloon that will afterward be popped to create the hollow interior, there
could be several ways of creating the honeycomb structure, including papier
macheing the whole structure and then cutting out holes, or overlying some string,
hardening them with modrock and then popping the balloon. It would need some
experimentation.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Here are some moss balls. When first added to the water they moved around quite a lot which looked very appealing and interesting. Unfortunatly they did at last come to a standstill. In a sphere perhaps some movement could be applied somehow to keep the balls moving. I think these would look great in an aquatic sphere.</span></div>

Due to some technical difficulties a lot of the other photos of our work in progress can not be currently uploaded.

the brightest and the most eye catching of the red and brown types that we

of all the species seemed to be smooth, nicely distributed and suitable for our

<span style="font-size: x-small;">We also had a look at these ‘blue’ algae down in the cellar.
Unfortunately it wasn't growing very well and the colour was poor so it wasn't
that much of an option. We also saw an orange flask which contained algae that
had been treated with pesticide (below). Unfortunately these were not only a
nice colour, but also dead, so these would be completely unusable!</span></div>

We also enquired about the possibility of using bio-luminescent algae which
could give some fantastic night-time displays. Unfortunately though, the
department didn't possess any of these species and we were informed that they
were difficult to grow. Also, despite having lit up spheres sounding like a
very nice idea, in reality the display would probably not be viewed in the dark
that often.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another option would be to use halobacteria. Once again the department was currently
not in possession of any, also they grow in highly saline conditions which
would be unsuitable for any companion species. However, the salt would produce
some nice looking crystals for display and a nice pink colour. This could definitely
be an idea for use in the future, perhaps when spheres are been maintained and
replaced at a later date.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our ideas for the algae involved making patterns inside the glass spheres. Agrose
gel could be swirled around and then algae would be grown on this gel to make
the pattern colourfully come alive. People could watch the algae grow over time
and the spheres could potentially last for several months before needing to be
maintained. During this maintenance period, the old sphere could be taken down
and replaced immediately with a new, already prepared sphere of a differing
design. The old sphere would then be cleaned out and prepared for future
displays. We would use agrose opposed to agar because even though it is a
little more expensive, it is also clearer and probably more suitable for an
artistic piece.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We started our experiments of this today (or yesterday by the time this post
gets published!). First we had six spherical flasks sterilized and we would be
experimenting with swirling agar over them that afternoon. Agar is cheaper than
agrose, so as these would only be experiments, we would use this material
instead. The three algae that we chose would ideally grow in two different environments,
however, the darker green one is apparently quite resilient and would grow on
the media of the other two selected species. The algae is rather slow growing
and we’ll have to wait quite some time to see results. Hopefully we’ll be
taking pictures of their growth process.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our meeting with Annette also gave us some important information regarding
the technicalities of the spheres themselves. The spheres used for the final
artwork need to be autoclaved for the algae to grow in them. This process
involves heating the material to 121<span class="st">°C and a pressure of 1 bar
for 20 minutes, for the purpose of sterilization. There is also a question</span>
hanging over how the spheres will be internally accessed. After this meeting I
sent an email to the company who we will probably order the test spheres from,
to ask both these questions and also ask about the prices for small 25cm
diameter spheres for tests and also the possibility of obtaining free samples.
If the spheres themselves can not be autoclaved, another possibility is to put
the small spherical flasks inside the sphere to create a sort of bunch of
grapes type image.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Potential problems with this experiment is that the algae may dry out and if
the container was sealed, the algae may not have enough air before they need to
be changed. However, having access to the outside may cause problems with fungi
and bacteria but a filter could possibly be used. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We will be testing out the spherical glasses this afternoon so read on to
see how we did! </div>

Our next task of the day was to meet with Stewart Casson to find out about
the possibility of growing a plant called selaginella in the spheres. We went down
into the basement of the department to take photos of some of the plant which
had already been grown in sealed containers for over a year with no maintenance
at all. This evidently could be a very interesting possibility of something
that could work for us.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When looking at the plants, although alive, many of them looked ill, droopy
and not very artistic. Condensation had collected on the inside of the
containers as well, which detracted from the appearance, although we speculated
that inside a sphere the water would probably be more likely to drip down to
the bottom. Further problems included that parts of the plants would naturally
die back in any case and some of the tests had become covered in algae. The
spheres would be a lot bigger than the tiny containers we saw, however, the
amount of selaginella inside it would also need to be proportionally bigger to
work as an artistic piece. Although very interesting, this idea doesn’t seem too plausible for a work
of art. </div>

The six spherical flasks that we had left with
Annette earlier had all been autoclaved, along with bottles, pipettes and six
lots of agar jelly (2x 1.4% 1.2% and 1%) that we would be using. Before we
could use the agar jelly medium, two other components also needed to be added
to it. These components didn’t work well if they were autoclaved already mixed
and so were added afterwards. These components were NaCO<sub>3</sub> and
FeEDTA. Once added, the medium would contain all the necessary nutrients for

Next we tested the different concentrations of
agar, there seemed to be little difference in how they set. When we pipetted
the agar into the flasks, the agar was very reluctant to stick. We speculated
that this was because the insides of the flasks were wet. Next time it would be
important to ensure that the glass interior was dry. To get the agar to set/stick
better, we inferred that the larger the temperature difference, the better. We acted
on this by putting the flasks into an ice bucket to cool them down, both before
and after the agar was dripped inside. Also, from our experimenting we think
that the agar jelly would be most workable just on the point of setting, just
before clumps begin to develop.</div>

Getting specific patterns of agar was in fact
quite difficult. The damp flask interior certainly didn’t help and getting the
precise looking swirls we originally intended was proving to be impossible and
quite fruitless. However, we found that shaking the sphere was the best way to
get the agar to stick to the sides. It actually made an organic, mosaic-like
pattern which we thought could actually be quite beautiful if the algae grew
well on it. Deciding to go with what we had, we inoculated our two best flasks
with the hardy, dark green Microcystis alga. This species is known to be good
at growing in variable conditions and we thought this one would have the best
chance of growing in our flasks.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We put the flasks into an incubator and we will
photograph them as they develop over the next few weeks.</div>

<br />
For introductions, I'm Shirin, an undergraduate at Bristol University. I will be working with my partner in this project and fellow undergraduate, Jessica, to help produce a piece of artwork to go on show at the new life sciences building at the university. Our responsibilities include coming up with ideas and testing their plausibility to help the artist Tomas Saraceno, achieve his vision for his piece for our department. His ideas involve about 5 glass spheres suspended in a spider-like net. Our job is to consider what could go in each of these spheres and test the ideas. The first day of our work on the project initially involved a tour of the department and introductions to many members of staff whom we'd be working with over the next few weeks, as well as getting to know each other.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-small;"> This is a photo of one of Tomas Saraceno's works- 'Lighter than Air'. This gave us some idea of what his vision would be for the life-science art piece. </span><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.tomassaraceno.com/">http://www.tomassaraceno.com/</a></span><br />
<br />
After our morning of settling in we started to prepare for a conversation with Tomas Saraceno and his assistant Adrien over Skype at 3pm. We allready had many questions and suggestions for the piece.<br />
<br />
Questions and suggestions included...<br />
-How long would the piece be up for, or how often could it be replaced/maintained? This would be vital for the practicality of keeping living things.<br />
-Would he be willing to grow fungi in the spheres as well as plants, this could make for some very interesting colours. <br />
-The idea of growing plants upside down.<br />
-The issue of condensation collecting on the glass if it contained living things, obscuring the view from the outside.<br />
-The issues of keeping the spheres sterile, a possible essential for some ideas.<br />
-The possibility of having an aquatic sphere, how much weight can the spheres hold, and how will they be supported? <br />
<br />
We both highly suggested that in many cases, inorganic structures simulating an illusion of life would be far more practicle. There would be very little to no maintance involved and there would be barely any limit on creativity. Using living organisms could be very limiting as many factors need to be met to keep them looking alive and attractive. We thought a very nice idea, especially for at least some of the spheres, would be to use organic materials such as iridescent beetle shells or feathers for example, to create sculptures such as those of animals or diatoms. We heard of a paint made from iridescent diatoms that sounded great for painting some of the possible sculptures. In many cases part of the net and spheres could show a macroscopic view of a microscopic world, such as with the diatoms, or parts of the net could represent neurons. Other ideas include having one of the spheres open with many climbing plants which could wrap around the cords supporting the sphere. We could grow algae within the spheres or within the tubes that support them.<br />
<br />
Tomas was very keen on the idea of having experiments within the spheres. We thought this was perhaps best achieved by a single demonstration sphere, which could be easily interchangeable and perhaps represent work from many departments for a short period of time each. The project work of students could also be given some publicity in the sphere so that this artwork becomes very communal within the life-sciences department.<br />
<br />
Ideally we want the spheres and net to represent all the departments, rather than representing more of one than another. We thought that running experiments for many different ideas and then allowing the staff to select 4 (as one of the 5 is taken up by the demonstration sphere), aswell as ideas for the appearance of the net that they thought would be the best, would be the most fair way of choosing the ideas for the final spheres.<br />
<br />We finished our day by sending out our first lot of emails to set up some meetings with members of the department to talk over some of our initial ideas ready to start experimenting for the next day.<br />
