Jewels of the Sea

Every fourth breath we take is sponsored by diatoms since these photosynthetic unicellular organisms produce about one-fourth of the world's oxygen. Although these microscopic organisms are incredibly important for our carbon cycle, they are only known to a small circle of people. This installation makes it possible to interact with digitally generated diatom models and examine in real time the living microcosm that surrounds us.
