In this article, the authors reveal a new significance for the phrase “deliberately maladjusted” (borrowed from video art of the 1970s and its critical interventions) in the act of microbial image processing using two artworks by the authors: A Medium for Images or Luminous Bacteria and ‘ イ ’ (1926) by BioLuminescent Bacteria . In contrast to early video experimentations, contemporary computational image processing simulates and manipulates various visual media in a manner well-adjusted for digital computation and display. The authors reconsider the historical process of image processing with living entities and microorganisms as they attempt to extend the possibility of works being deliberately maladjusted.

In this paper, we seek to uncover the new significance of the phrase “deliberately maladjusted,” which is borrowed from video artists of the 1970s and their critical interventions (Vasulka, 1970), in the act of Microbial Image-Processing, using two artworks by the authors: A Medium for Images or Luminous Bacteria and ‘イ’ (1926) by BioLuminescent Bacteria . In contrast to early video experimentations, contemporary Computational Image-Processing simulates and manipulates various visual media in a “well-adjusted” manner for the digital computation and display. With this paper, we reconsider the historical process of image-processing to focus on living entities and microorganisms and attempt to extend the possibility of works being “deliberately maladjusted.”

Squids can rapidly change their body color using chromatophores that are controlled by electrical signals transmitted through nerves. The authors transform a squid’s skin into an audio visualizer called Chromatophony. This is accomplished by sending an electric tone signal composed as music to the skin. Although Chromatophony’s appearance is similar to that of computer-generated images, it is based on a natural phenomenon with a colorful mosaic display. By comparing chromatophores with pixels, the authors propose Living Images to expand the potential of visual expression from the perspective of bioart theory.
