An Exploration of Flavobacteria's Living Aesthetics for Living Color Interfaces

Flavobacteria, which can be found in marine environments, are able to grow in highly organized colonies producing vivid iridescent colorations. While much is known about the biology of these organisms, their design potential as responsive media in user interfaces has not been exp ...
In recent years, there has been a notable proliferation and diversification of works in HCI, that integrate living microorganisms; an imperative lifeform dominating ecosystems of our planet. Yet despite the growing interest, there is a lack of structured lenses with which designe ...

Exploring the Design Space of Direct Interactions with Flavobacteria

HCI designers increasingly engage in the integration of microbes into artefacts, leveraging their distinct biological affordances for novel interactions. While in many explorations the interaction between humans and microbes is mediated, scholars also highlight the potential of d ...

Flavobacteria are marine organisms that produce vivid, angle-dependent colour as their cells organise into structures that interact with light. These optical structures, resulting in structural colour, are influenced by environmental factors such as temperature and humidity. In t ...
