My digital #artwork from 2020, newly edited in 2025: I used image editing software to stereographically project the image plane onto a #spherical surface. This created a #littleplanet projection with the impression that this #tree is the only one on its #tinyworld. With my artwork, I honor the tree itself, not only because it can bind CO2, but because it represents a #community of diverse #organisms, on which I have conducted numerous #mite #related research.

Bei dieser #Doku-Serie geht mir das Herz auf - sie zeigt zauberhafte kleine Wesen, die unseren Planeten bewohnen und bereichern. Die Aufnahmen sind phänomenal und eine wahre Freude für jede*n Naturfreund*in! Der Sprecher in der Original Version ist #PaulRudd (Antman).
Meines Wissens kann #TinyWorld bislang nur auf Apple TV+ angesehen werden. Wer die Möglichkeit dazu hat, sollte sie nutzen.

Tiny world: a single unit of azolla with one tiny water root. So cute!
Pic 3 shows how azolla grows & spreads in its tiny plastic-bowl pond. 
Azolla is an aquatic plant that grows on the surface of fresh water. Many pond-keepers are not fond of azolla because of how rapidly it grows & how quickly it can cover a whole pond. But azolla also makes an excellent (& fast-growing) green mulch & can be used as a supplement to farm animal diets.
These little scene at ground level are the reason why I often come back home wet and muddy from head to toe. There is nothing that says getting closer to nature than lying on the ground and having your nose in the moss.
#BigBeasts, a new nature docuseries from the makers of #TinyWorld, has appeared in the Australian Ratings Classification Database, indicating an announcement is imminent.
The docuseries is likely what was previously referenced as "Giant World" in a June 2022 Deadline article.

Day 13 of #ArtAdventCalendar
This is some weed from my garden I picked up last summer. I pressed it and used it for this cyan print. I am always fascinated about the details we miss to see in our daily life because we do not pay attention to these litte „unimportant“ things like garden weeds.
