Designers: Kathy Takayama & John Nichoson
Long Version: The Symbiotic Bacterial Light Project (SBLP), a University of New South Wales-based arts/science collaboration, was formed to research and develop the functional capabilities of the natural process of bioluminescence with respect to its creative application towards visual media and interactive technology. Bioluminescence is the emission of light by living organisms through the process of oxidation, or burning.
Shorter Version: A visual artist (John Nicholson) and a biologist (Dr Kathy Takayama) have joined forces to use the natural luminescence of some bacteria to create some really cool interior lighting applications.
Upshot: It's time to stop killing bacteria. They're now our friends.
