I choose the living artistic installment by Eduardo Kac. (Specimen of Secrecy About Marvelous Discoveries) It was a multiple piece display of “Biotopes”, these biotopes represent his art that was a living subunit. They show a similar image that is in constant change. Changed only by itsself. He introduced multiple microorganisms that interact with each other while living in a natural yet controlled environment. The environment is controlled only for the living organisms to remain living. Nothing is modified, so each image is represented by the mass of the biotope and is a completely natural form. Their unique patterns are created from the living environment that they’ve create for themselves. The visuals are very rustic and appear more beautiful once you know that they were created through growth and life.
