Roscoff project; seeing the unseen, is a bio-art installation which uses simple tools, cheap lens from a laser light and a smartphone camera, to get a better view, understanding and awareness of an unknown but a very special delicate sea worm, who is coexisting with an algae. This fascinating little creature is actually an plantanimal. In juvenile stage worms eat the algae and creates a simbiosis. It can also regenerate its head and have a primitive eyes. Roscoff worm can teach us a lot about climate change and also about self sustainability and coexistence with nature and its importance. The project developed from a BIOBOX workshop (Roscoff worm educational kit – initiation into marine biology), mentored by Robertina Sebjanic. The project tries to encourage the viewer to view things from a new or different perspective in order to broaden our horizons.
