Plankton Painting

Saturday, July 20, 2024 at 10:30am to 12:30pm

MIT Museum
314 Main Street, Gambrill Center, Cambridge MA 02142

Join us for an experimental photography workshop led by local artist and scientist Jess Holz, where you'll create "paintings" of local plankton.

Using microscopes and chrono-photograhy, capture photos of the trails created by these microscopic creatures. Learn about microscopic pond life while getting a fascinating glimpse into their dynamic behavior, such as the helical paths of flagellates and the water currents generated by rotifers as they feed.
