The Energy Bending Lab is a modular instrument comprised of a set of custom-built synthesizers and transduction tools to create a real-time sonification of electric properties found in some bacteria. And through the use of cymatics—visible frequency vibrations—it is later converted into a pattern generator. Conceptualized as a DIY interspecies...

Microbial fuel cells

by we on May 15, 2015 • 2 Comments
Microbial fuel cells harness the power of bacteria and convert energy released in metabolic reactions into electrical energy. The  cell consists of two electrodes separated by a semi-permeable membrane submersed in an electrolyte solution. The bacteria break down food wastes and sewage to generate an electric current and continue to...

During the fifth edition of the festival Novas frequencies in Rio de Janeiro, we were invited to perform a laboratory focus on the sonification of the bacteria present on the beaches of Rio. In the laboratory 10 local artists were selected through an open call. For a week we work together enabling a compact version...

Oscillations in cell biology

by we on Mar 10, 2015 • 1 Comment
Karsten Kruse and Frank Jülicher // Max Planck Institut fur Physik komplexer Systeme Oscillations play an important role in many dynamic cellular processes. They can emerge as the collective dynamic behavior of an ensemble of interacting components in the cell. Examples include oscillations in cytoskeletal structures such as the axonemes of cilia. Spontaneous oscillations of...

The Energy Bending Lab is a sensory expansion interface embedded into an electronic system using modular synthesizers to create a real time sonification of electrophysiological reactions in electron bacteria (Shewanella Oneidensis) that are later converted in to visualization through cymatics – visible frequency vibrations – to allow for an interspecific prosthesis that could provide the...

When this bacteria are deprived of oxygen and iron they start growing hairs as the ‘electronic equivalent of a snorkel’ to connect each other as a communal lung network. ‘Shewanella turned out to be a particularly intriguing case. Reducing oxygen is its true métier, but deprive it of oxygen and it will reduce iron instead. In...

Patch-clamp amplifiers on a chip

by we on Jul 20, 2014 • No Comments
The patch-clamp amplifier is a ubiquitous tool for characterizing ion-channel activity. For the screening of pharmaceutical compounds or the characterization of expressed channels, high-throughput patch-clamp systems are being developed, where recordings are made from cells in each well of a 96 or 384-well plate. In these systems the recording is made not with a glass...
