Geobacter Micropulse is part of a series of pieces inquiring into the possibility of interspecies communication. Bioelectric fluctuations from microbial fuel cells create light patterns that emulate the beginnings of encoded language. The cells use seawater and sediment samples from the NYC area, activating in consortium the ability of these Geobacters to produce energy when deprived from oxygen. The system creates a space where the micro-performativity of bacteria is expressed through light.
