Virtual reality (VR) application. 360° Video to get an impression in the video below.
#1 Scene: Lifecycle of all plastic ever created.
#2 Scene: Dive into microscope - how small plastic becomes over time.
For exhibitions we want to present a VR experience along with an ongoing research and analysis that will be available for the viewer. This means, two stations with microscopes will be placed for visitors to interact with and have an educational and artistic approach on microplastics and living samples such as moss or rainwater.
One of the stations will have a microscope with a set up in which people will be able to take pictures with their own mobiles. Microplastic samples will be prepared in advance, since the process involves dying such samples with a scientific colour which allows us to observe hybrids of algae, mushrooms and of course other biofilms plus microplastics under special light conditions.

DIY microscopic rotating tool TÖRNIE
To turn and photograph micro plastic under the lens of a microscope I build the TÖRNIE (from English "turn") - a rotating device for samples fitting on or in glass capillaries. Idea, laser-cut, design, modeling by Maria Degand.
