Concept

Softday proposed to exhibit four containers with living Daphnia magna. The containers are monitored by four Apple iMac computers fitted with USB cameras capturing video via computer vision software and project real time images of the moving Daphnia. The computers also have software that convert the movement of the Daphnia to live sound and music that is flavoured by data sources from Enterprise Ireland's Aquatic Toxicity Laboratory.
