GARAGE ASTROBIOLOGY - Andy Gracie
A garage laboratory, resembling to some degree an astrobiology laboratory, for examining the effects of electromagnet fields and radio waves on microbial species cultured from the urban environment.
The project will commence with the collection of organic samples from the urban environment, various methods of extracting and culturing micro-organisms from them and 'getting to know' them. Development of some DIY laboratory equipment will form part of this process.
The project will then focus on developing a system of variable strength magnetic field generators and related apparatus which can be fixed to the culture vessels to form an 'input sculpture' – a device by which the organisms are exposed to various magnetic fields and the means by which their responses to these magnetic fields can be observed and recorded.
