Inspired by some papers I read, certain bacteria (geobacter sulfurreducens) generate electricity when they feed on acetate, and this could potentially be turned into a sensor of sorts, by engineering the bacteria to generate electrons in a certain condition (such as body temperature, to create a “touch” sensor).

More of a fun/random experimentation, I was inspired by a project on generating typography from different bacteria that grows/merges traditional and modern Hebrew script together with bacteria (paenibacillus vortex) and its food source. I think it could be an interesting idea for “tarot” where a question/prompt is given in one medium, and fed with another input that then creates a visual that can be interpreted.
