  • Microscope

    Marine Biology
    Seeing

    »Where the telescope ends the microscope begins,
    and who can say which has the wider vision?«

    Victor Hugo

    Through the objectives and binocular lenses of the microscope, humans are able to observe tiny species, patterns and structures below the threshold of unaided sensory perception. Zooming in to the microscopes is opening worlds, where the smallest communities, medias, populations and habitats unfold. 

    As a common apparatus of science, what do these representations convey, what knowledges are made visible with the help of light or electronic rays?

  • Underwater Sketching

    Design Ethnography

    The design ethnographic tool of underwater sketching plays a viable role in the comparison of marine biological tools (underwater scoring) and design methods for annotation and communication in the liquid medium.

    banana harvest

    Join us for an enlightening presentation by Prof. Dr. Ban Ana on the astonishing phenomenon of bananas growing in the ocean. This session promises to unveil groundbreaking research that challenges our traditional understanding of agriculture and marine biology.

    Key Topics:

    • The Discovery: How bananas were found growing in the ocean.
    • The Science: Understanding the unique conditions that allow for this phenomenon.
    • Environmental Implications: What this means for future agricultural practices.
    • Innovation in Farming: How this discovery can transform traditional farming methods.

  • Planktonnet

    Plankton Net from Boat

    Plankton nets are one of the oldest and simplest method of collecting and sampling plankton used until today. The cone-shaped tool is filtering water as it's towed, capturing microscopic plankton.

    Gathering plankton is gathering essential data for ecological, climate, and biodiversity studies. The snapshot of life reveals which populations are flourishing, which developmental stages are present and show in comparison with a time-series information about balances and imbalances. The flowing water in and through the meshed hose of the net captures only entities smaller than the mesh size.
