This is the first bacteria image from a 3D model . The palette below the image is taken from Chromogenic Bacteria samples selected by and made up into a 'scale' format J.Braham . The colour on the model is the 7th on the scale. RGB values of the colours can be provided to 3D modellers for texture mapping. Currently the object library contains 1 virus, 1 cell and 1 bacteria. The positioning of these objects on the stave will (as in the 1st Glass Bead Game) reflect musical notes. Whilst objects in the original game were placed on the pivoted stave with the intention of reaching harmony and balance, the dynamic of Glass Bead War may log 'impacts' rather than 'placements'.
All objects so far posted; the virus, the bloated cell and the bacterium all belong to a category biological/microscopic. They are l part of the natural world. Bacteria, for example, though most often associated with disease, perform essential benefits ranging from digestion to soil fertility. They are not inherently bad guys. The toxicity of our world: pollution and degradation of the environment, global warming, starvation, financial fraud etc. result from human disruption of this natural framework. Therefore might human impact be represented by including manmade objects, or hybrids similar to Razor DNA; for instance bacterium X missile.
ReplyDeleteGood thoughts. Any 3D modellers want to rise to the challange?
