Exemplar figure, described by caption below
A computer-generated image based on the result of bacteria growth in a microbial experiment. The bacteria are the new narrative for all the events that happened on the streets of Hong Kong Island, witnesses of the collective memories of individuals and communities, evolutionary history, and environmental history.

Abstract

In this annotated portfolio, we will introduce a posthumanist idea of using micro-organism to define the mingling spaces. As a result, to explore and extend the current boundary of the cultural concerns of human beings. Alongside the philosophical discussion, we will also present a multidisciplinarily-fabricated installation to visualize the idea through 3D printing technology and biomedical experiments. (The geographical location of this project is based in Hong Kong).
