Steve Pike outlines a series of controlled experiments he embarked upon with microbiologist Conrad Mullineaux, which culminated in a final installation highlighting the potential of a microbiological‐responsive architecture at a human scale. With these experiments, Pike challenges the way in which we commonly understand ‘air’ as a sterile and empty space, exploring the aesthetic implications of it as a mass of densely colonised matter that reflects users' activities via their bacteriological traces.
