Communicating our Project

We communicated our project through an array of different media and social media platforms. We wanted to learn whther people valuable the stuff they throw away, what they thought about Synthetic Biology, our project and to spread the word about iGEM!!

We asked people the question, what would you make with a 3D printer?

Paint with Coli

One of Edvard Munch's greatest successes, The Scream, now expressed in all new splendour by the novel art form of E. coli

The Scream, a masterpiece, clearly depicts an individual on a pier with a haunting expression with a heady back drop of a yellow and red sky. Reforging this painting with bacteria has created 5th rendition of this magnificent work of art. Originally painted in 1893 by Edvard Munch, The Scream characterised a tempestuous time in art as a precursor to the advent of Expressionism. As such, it is perfectly placed to represent the potential power of SynBio to revolutionise the modern world, and this in and of itself represents the verve behind team Plasticity to add value to waste with our MAPLE system.

Claude Monet's San Giorgio Maggiore, depicted by highly cultured E. coli. San Giorgio Maggiore is an island in Venice, best known for the prominent church that sits upon it. In 1908, Claude Monet painted this impressionist painting.
