The Bacteria Painter

How would you feel about buying a painting that was created using bacterias that normally live in your stomach?

Zacharie Copfer, an ex microbiologist, now found a way to use his knowledge into his new hobby, Art! He invented the bachteriography, the principle is to print the pictures on a Cullin box. Then he covers it with a substance full of nutriments and some bacterias called Serratia Marcescens, then covers it with the picture he wants printed and sprays it with toxic radiations. The microbes in the clear parts of the picture die because of the radiations on the countrary the ones in the darker parts survive and turn out red. After 2 days it is finished. But if he just let it like that the bacterias would spread out all around the picture. So zacharie sprays them with a radiation that kills them and adds a special gell that freezes them forever.

Zach also makes pictures using the fluorescent microbe on jellyfishes and creates your portrait using the microbes on your face. here is his link: http://sciencetothepowerofart.com/
