Exercise #2, Due Wednesday, Week 3:

Look for some organic or quasi-organic material or living system that can be used as a substrate for the transmission of information and thus as some sort of cybernetic control system or organic “computer”. Research the material’s properties and brainstorm ways that it can be stimulated or perturbed so that it grows, moves or otherwise changes state. Experiment with the material and diagram a possible cybernetic system that could be built with it. Examples include: ferrofluid, copper sulfate, ants, bacteria, nematodes, slime mold, and more!

My system consists of rabbits, electricity , beaker of salt solvent solution, a thermometer , a fan, rabbit food, string for growing crystals, and weight sensitive device.

System Process:
The rabbit runs on the wheel that is connected to an power supply box which generated the power for the fan to turn on once the thermometer reach a certain high level of heat from the beaker. The solution should remain at very lower temperature  in order to grow. Once the crystal grows to the heavier weigh, the string give a signal to the weight sensor device to unlock the door that is in the rabbit cage and feed the rabbit to to gain more energy to run.

 
  
 
 
 
 
Finding meaning in this art system:
 
My rabbits are farming salt crystals. Its not about the rabbit or the system. Its focuses on the bacteria that is traps in the growth of the salt crystals.
