Cameron Currie Lab -- MSB -- CALS -- UW-Madison -- This picture is of an Acromyrmex volcanus colony maintained in the lab. These ants are located on a spongey fungus garden which they grow themselves. This colony of a leaf cutter ant species cuts leaves, and then incorporates the fresh leaf material into the tops of their gardens. Leaf pieces are cut to a small size ( * notice green leaf fragments in the fungus near the ants ) and then tufts of fungus are "planted" on the leaves. The fungus then uses the leaves as a substrate on which to grow. Notice the fuzzy white material covering the ants. This substance is actually a bacteria that produces antibiotics which protect the the ant's cultivar ( farmed fungus ) from harmful pathogens. In fact, the ants have specialized gardening and weeding behaviors where the ants will rub the white bacteria onto parts of the garden that are infected so that the actibiotics produced by the bacteria may come into contact with the infection.
I made a chocolate horse-and-horseshoe piece, which goes so nicely with the beautiful bracelet Jennifer made me, I just had to get a picture! Note: I don't usually wear make-up so this picture kind of startles me...
This is the IMA's Davis LAB on the first gallery level of the Museum. It has several workstations for end users to leave comments on the IMA Blog, find their favorite IMA Flickr photos, rate art videos, Facebook IMA, learn about major exhibitions or discover IMA's latest technology experiments.

MARS IN MUMBAI
Prototypes of change developed for the BMW Guggenheim Lab
Informal settlements dominate much of the world’s emerging cityscape. The tense social and spatial conditions they bring forth render most urban strategies ineffective. Neither top-down planning, defined by a technocratic approach of ever larger infrastructure, nor bottom-up efforts, in the form of increasingly sophisticated community level projects, seem able to meet the challenges at the scale the developing metropolis demands. Can micro-scale interventions be designed to achieve citywide strategies?
This conceptual divide is further exacerbated in Mumbai, where slums that make up two-thirds of the population cut through the entire island city in a sharp spatial divide. Attempts to address the dire challenges from, water security to pollution and severe congestion, are limited to either the formal or informal settlements. MARS Architects has produced a vision for a United Mumbai, the starting point for incorporating informal settlements as fully integrated parts of the formal city.
Over the coming weeks, stakeholder meetings will be held at the Guggenheim Lab Mumbai to discuss our ten proposed technologies, from wall systems to transport systems. Follow us as an expanding system of architectural interventions turns slums into sustainable settlements, which in turn become the backbone of a United Mumbai.
PART 1: SPI MODEL
The foundation of this project is an in-depth study of Mumbai’s population density. Not merely mapping Mumbai’s infamous conditions in abstract terms but introducing a new methodology that better represents the experience on the ground. The new metric, called the Stacked Population Index (SPI), measures the density of people per amount of available floor surface. Suddenly the true extents of Mumbai’s informal settlements can be observed: a yellow forest of towering densities covers the entire urban landscape. The harsh reality; the city accommodates two thirds of its population on less than a quarter of its residential surface, and yet urban plans for Mumbai mostly ignore their existence.
