_in: still Life is a responsive installation artwork by Pinar Temiz and Tijs Ham, situated between bio-art and sound-art. The work consists of bowls of bioluminescent algae that light up as food is rhythmically dripping in from above. The flashes that the algae produce are countered by sonifications. Both its artistic inspiration and methods of application are derived from living systems. Covered in darkness, a biotechnological creature glows in space, broadcasting signals. Controlled by a pattern-seeking digital brain, fluids are rhythmically pumped through its transparent veins. In an ever-evolving series of calls and responses, ‘_in: still Life’ tries to obtain its own musical and visual language, guided by artificial creativity and expressed through its organic body. Approach…, and you will witness an intricate private performance, a playful combination of dripping liquids with bioluminescent disturbances…
