Living Language by Ori Elisar from israel

For my final thesis at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, I developed an ink based on biological matter. The ink is created using Paenibacillus vortex bacteria. With it, I could explore the interactions between nature and culture. This ongoing project also explores the developing states of the Hebrew language and the Hebrew character.
In this experiment I took a character from the Palaeo-Hebrew alphabet, and present a suggestion for an evolution of the Hebrew script made by the Paenibacillus vortex bacteria. I placed the bacteria in the shape of the Palaeo-Hebrew alphabet and it’s food I placed in the shaped of the modern Hebrew alpabet letter.
Using my research, experiments and results, I am hoping to question nature, culture, character and language with some new theories of my own.
