Non-Terrestrial Drosophila Phototaxis Workshop.

About the event

Over the past 3 years, artist Andy Gracie has been slowly acclimatising and selecting flies based on their fitness for possible future survival on Saturn’s moon Titan. In this workshop participants will design and build simple apparatus for testing and selecting for altered phototaxis (attraction to light) in both the artist’s trained specimens and newer cultures that have been raised under normal conditions.
