Artist [http://www.leenvanwijngaarden.nl/Leenvanwijngaarden/home.html Leen van Wijngaarden] was fascinated by the colors and shapes of bacterial colonies and decided to make art with them. Not just a pretty picture on a regular agar plate (like this [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_HijhRK2BkjA/S2ggPYgVgYI/AAAAAAAABhg/fxaE4Lxt93w/s400/onlinepaint.jpg well-known example]), but on a large scale. This should produce nice paintings, which keep evolving. The results were to be exposed during the culture festival [http://www.denachtvankunstenwetenschap.nl/en/ "The Night of Art and Science"]. | Artist [http://www.leenvanwijngaarden.nl/Leenvanwijngaarden/home.html Leen van Wijngaarden] was fascinated by the colors and shapes of bacterial colonies and decided to make art with them.

The iGEM team met Leen at the right time: from helping with the setup, iGEM got a bigger role in the project and started to design their own drawings. Because of the microbiological background of many team members, we could help Leen not only during the making of the pictures, but we could also take the oppurtunity to teach the visitors of the Night about the beauty of bacteria, their use, synthetic biology and our project. | The iGEM team met Leen at the right time: from helping with the setup, iGEM got a bigger role in the project and started to design their own drawings.

As an extra feature, a "bacterial wall of fame" was built, with handprints of "famous people from Groningen" was made. People, including some iGEM members, had pressed their hands on agar plates, which where afterwards incubated over night. At the night, this showed a nice diversity of skin inhabitants... | As an extra feature, a "bacterial wall of fame" was built, with handprints of "famous people from Groningen" was made.
