Above you can find a closer description of what Extremophiles are, where they live and what they can do.
Addressing the same project on Extremophiles, I was curious to discover how animals react to a zoological Environment after being born and bred in the wild. I read many articles saying Animals become distressed as they have less space to roam through, they can’t hunt their own food, they have less or no animals around them and all in all it is the worst thing one can do to them.
I was then advised to read the book ‘The life of Pi’, which describes animals being very content in a zoological environment, so long as their routines are not broken.
This lead me to develop the diagrams here depicted, which describe how animals can go from one environment to the next, having an adaptation phase, however becoming used to the new life they have been introduced to.
When we were told to develop a project which consisted of an exhibition space for Extremophiles, I really didn’t know where to start from. This lead me to develop these collages, through which I was more inspired to design spaces for these microbial creatures, which you can’t possibly see with your bear eye.
The yellow collage describes a radioactive environment, the dark collage represents the space which the Endolith (an Extremophile which bores through rocks) inhabits and the very bright collage to the right represents a highly salty environment.
This was the first collage I produced to describe the theme of my project. I decided to represent an interpretation of the Environment that 11 Extremophiles inhabit with the hypothetical aim that visitors of the exhibition would have a journey of experiences, which would inform them on extreme geological occurrences on Earth.
