Let's Symbiose and Be With

Let's Symbiose and Be With is an installation and performance with cable bacteria, which are capable of transmitting electricity and have revolutionized the conception of the origin of life because until now the conductive capacity of bacteria was not considered. The work consist of a series of love letter addressed to and transmitted by the cable bacteria, so the audio signal of the microphone is conducted through the bacteria until it reaches the speakers.

The focus of the piece is the interest on the symbiosis with the environment through our relation with other species that make our existence possible.

This work is the result of the collaboration with the scientist Robin Bonné from the department of electromicrobiology at the University of Aarhus (Denmark) and the scientist Jean Manca from the research group X-Lab at the Hasselt University (Belgium).
