First day's during the residency, i was getting to know Eleonore, the crew and other boats from Donautics cummunity.

During residency on Eleonore, I worked in my DIY wet lab and sound studio. The DIY wet lab is done ala hackteria style / http://hackteria.org/ . I did carried out xperiments with Hydra's (freshwater polip) / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hydra_%28genus%29 /. We had also some mini workshop's, experimental afternoons . We did build together with Taro and Martina a DIY microscope. The lifepatch DIY microscope stage kit  / http://lifepatch.org/ is prepared - ready for use also for later on since it will stay as a wet lab station on Eleonore.

The outcome of the residency: creating an ambiental poetic immersive performance.

The performance features sound recordings generated by Hydra, mixed with the sound recording - the archive of the time reminiscence, collected during the 14 days’ of the sounds scape of the Donau below the water line.

Hydra

It's biologically immortal freshwater animal /http://www.daviddarling.info/encyclopedia/H/Hydra.html //  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biological_immortality /. The first experiments that explored the regenerative properties of Hydra took place 250 years ago. Nowadays, it is scientifically proven that the Hydra can be completely regenerated to 1/200 part of her body. This impressive fact inspires further material exploration on the regeneration of Hydra’s pluripotent stem cells.

Interesting articles to read about Hydra: 

The first experiments and discoveries about the excellent regenerative properties of Hydra began in 1744 when biologist Trembley did publich the book:  "Memoirs Concerning the Natural History of a Type of Freshwater Polyp with Arms Shaped Like Horns (Memoires, pour servir a l'histoire d'un genre de polypes d'eau douce, a bras en forme de cornes, 1744).

DIY HYDROPHONES 

Eleonora's home - spot is near to the city, nature and industry.  The strange, contrasting sound scape inspires me. I do record sounds / noise and build different DIY hydrophones to record the sounds scape of the Donau below the water line.

During the residency, we had also really nice meet up: Eleonore's experimental afternoon / a mini-workshop / DIY Hydrophone / Hydra hacking, with Michael-Lupo, Marie, Taro, Martina, Holger, Ana, Alessio on the main deck.
