How to Think “-sphere(圏)” on Bioart: Through a Visual Experiments
バイオアートの「-圏」をどう考えるか？視覚実験を通して

Can we think about (particular) type of Bioart as matter of “-sphere(圏)”?

バイオアートの（特定の）タイプを「-sphere(圏)」の問題として考えることは可能でしょうか？

ex.) biosphere（生物圏） ecosphere（生態圏）
blastosphere（胞胚) oosphere（配偶子）
hydrosphere（水圏） lithosphere（岩石圏）
geosphere（地殻） atmosphere（雰囲気、環境、大気、空気）
sphere of living（生活圏）public sphere（公共圏）
…

Project Ideas

? Can I design any small experiments for visualizing “(bio)sphere” to help considering Bioart?
? バイオアートを考える上で、「（バイオ）スフィア」を可視化するための小さな実験をデザインできないか？

! I want to make a clue to think about it directly…
! 直接的に考える手がかりを作りたい・・・。

like Thaumatrope… fig_thomatrope

First Thaumatrope by William Henry Fitton (Cited: A. Castillon, Recreations Physiques, Paris: Hachette, 1863, 284)

Relationship between human-microbiome
Overlapping and Comparing with some scales; time and size (?)
Create moving Image?
Accumulation of the “sphere” of petri-dish image
Printing on tracing papers? or laser cutting acrylic plates.

- Problem; Weight problem; normal 1 petri-dish w/ medium=ca.30g Petri-dish thickness
- Task; Making the Double-side petri-dish. Consider how to lighter weight. Ways to support the Petri dish. Think of a rotating mechanism. Try to Yeastogram
