SlimeMoldCrypt

In this installation, you become the sole guardian of your own data without relying on tech companies to secure it for you. Your ability to encrypt information depends on how well you care for a living slime mold. Through three adjustable controls, you must respond to its needs in real time. The more attentively you engage with it, the more frequent and dynamic its inner cellular activity becomes, directly strengthening your data encryption.

This activity is your protective layer. As the slime mold thrives, so does your security. But if its vitality fades, the encryption weakens. Once its internal movement ceases, your data is fully exposed. This is not just a technical system, but a living one: an encryption process driven by presence, empathy, and responsibility.

It’s a race against time, where your ability to care becomes the key to keeping your information safe. The project challenges conventional notions of digital security by introducing biological dependency and emotional investment.
