Bioluminescence in the Gippsland Lakes

Noctiluca scintillans doing what it does best in the Gippsland Lakes, a small chain of inland lakes in Victoria, Australia.

The events that transpired to make this happen are quite miraculous; firstly there was widespread fires in Victoria that burned pretty intensely for quite some time. Then, they were followed by intense flooding that inundated many areas of Gippsland amongst others. The basic effect was that floodwaters carried nutrient-rich soil and ash from the higher reaches into the Gippsland basin, leading to a eutrophic condition in which algae and bacteria can thrive.

This gave rise to a particularly prolific cyanobacteria getting a foothold, Synechococcus. Essentiallysmothering the lake in cellular life, it gave an opportunity for some pretty special creatures to breed prolifically given an abundant food source - Noctiluca scintillans, a bioluminescent Dinoflagellate.

And so, you end up with photographs like this. A once-in-a-lifetime occurrence, captured for all to share.

Anthropomorphic dancing food, pouting monkeys with incredible mustaches, and cute sulking squirrels (sorely in need of underpants)…we’re hooked on these awesome paintings.

‘Calamita Cosmica’ (Cosmic Magnet in English) is a 28 meter long sculpture of a human skeleton created by Italian artist Gino De Dominicis and is on display at the Museo Nazionale della Arti del XXI Secolo – MAXXI museum of contemporary art in Rome, Italy. Except for the strange long nose, is a perfect scaled model of the human skeleton.

‘Future Self’ is the newest performative installation by London-based collection Random International. The interactive work is a study in human movement mirroring interaction in dance, light and sound, while exploring the self - present and future. It attempts to reveal what it can about one’s identity and the relationship which we have with our own self image reflecting and rendering one’s movements in light resulting in a three-dimensional ‘living’ sculpture, derived from the composite gestures of those who surround it; represented in an illuminated presence - another version of themselves.
