Such a statement would already betray a human-centered, correlationist, and anthropomorphic worldview. The Amoebic Workshop does not claim that Arcellinidas, or testate amoebas, are artists. By bringing the actual territory of the amoeba into proximity with contemporary art, and with artistic traditions such as the Renaissance workshop, the virtual territory that makes possible artistic expression reveals one of its oldest faces: that of Pseudo-amoeba. The transactions between life and matter at the micro-scale – on the other side of the vast abyss of space and time that separates our world from the world of ‘dirt’ – thus become, in this essay and its attendant exhibition, the means for reconceptualizing the processes underpinning human technē.
Though invisible to the gallery visitors – who by design were denied any visual representation of the amoeba’s shells (tests) in the exhibition itself – the ‘exhibition’ of the amoebic workshop submerged within the milieu of the lake sediment was intended to draw attention to modes of creation and construction that escape not only direct perception, but also straightforward aesthetic categorization. These shell-building protists were housed in an aquarium set up by Carleton University’s Patterson Research Group (PRG), who had collected live samples of the micro-organisms from Bell’s Lake, Ontario along with other species of plant and animal life, and sustained them there within the sediment in which they naturally reside. Along with artworks by Jessica Drenk (United States), Gabriel Lalonde (Canada), and Claudia Wieser (Germany), the exhibition featured as its centerpiece a living culture of single-celled amoebas, Mediolus corona.
