A Dublin Science Gallery commission, Anna Dumitriu, Tom Keene, Lorenzo Grespan, Dr. Simon Park, Dr Blay Whitby. Part of: INFECTIOUS: STAY AWAY

In Cybernetic Bacteria 2.0, the chemical communication of bacteria and the live data streams of our own digital networks (the wireless / bluetooth / RFID activity taking place in and around the gallery) are combined in real time to generate a brand new artificial life form. This installation explores the layers of complexity in both digital and organic communications networks and investigates the relationship of bacteria to artificial life.
