Culture Mining: an abusive relationship between a computer system and a cyanobacteria colony’ consists of a dialogue between two information processing systems. The computing system monitors and manipulates the culture’s conditions of growth. The computer gathers data from multiple sensors, and modifies the temperature, motility and light conditions of the cyanobacteria colony. The cyanobacteria moves in order to get most sunlight and the best temperature conditions for growth. Because this system is programmed to maximize the gathering of movement data, the computer carries out a cycle of care and stress upon the cyanobacteria, forcing it to be in constant motion.
