The Silence of Slime Mould

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of art and science, this work showcases the results of experiments using slime mould, a single-cell organism capable of computation without a brain. Through various art pieces, it reveals how Physarum polycephalum optimizes its shape and responds to stimuli, offering a unique perspective on intelligence in living beings. The project invites viewers to perceive the environment through the lens of slime mould, challenging traditional notions of cognition and creativity.
