Flavorium: An Exploration of Flavobacteria’s Living Aesthetics for Living Color Interfaces

Flavorium: An Exploration of Flavobacteria’s Living Aesthetics for Living Color Interfaces Eduard Georges Groutars, Carmen Clarice Risseeuw, Colin Ingham, Willemijn S.

Pont, Elvin Karana CHI'22: ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems Session: Making and Unmaking Abstract Flavobacteria, which can be found in marine environments, are able to grow in highly organized colonies producing vivid iridescent colorations. While much is known about the biology of these organisms, their design potential as responsive media in user interfaces has not been explored. Our paper aims at bridging this gap by providing insights into the type, degree, and duration of change in Flavobacteria’s expression, i.e., their living aesthetics. We present a tool to capture and characterize these changes concerning form, texture, and iridescent color. To support the long-term study of their living aesthetics, we designed Flavorium. This bio-digital artefact provides the necessary habitat conditions for Flavobacteria to thrive for a month. Granting insights into the responsive behavior of this organism, this work initiates a design space and vocabulary to inspire HCI and design scholars to investigate the complex temporal qualities of living media for future user interfaces.
