Abstract
This dissertation presents an in-depth exploration of iridescent Flavobacteria, integrating laboratory characterisation, design-led experimentation, and a longitudinal study of everyday engagement. It shows how their living colour unfolds over time, captures external conditions, and opens space for relational dynamics and reflection on interconnectedness between microbial life, humans, and their surroundings. The work develops knowledge, tools, and approaches that support designing living artefacts for everyday human–microbe engagement.
