These are part of a major sci-art collaboration lead by artist Anna Dumitriu entitled The Normal Flora project, which involves culturing bacteria and moulds from the artist's domestic environment, a multimedia installation is planned for 2006.

Anna Dumitriu is an artist whose work is heavily inspired by science, in particular medical science and the concept of immortality.
