Interactive bio sculpture of the world

Protista Imperialis is an interactive bio-sculpture that uses an elaborate technological apparatus to maintain or destroy itself depending on the interface between the viewer and the art. The work uses algae to represent the natural world, and the technological apparatus to signify the techno-sphere that mediates our societal relationship to the environment.
