Alwe-Dry consists of 100% natural microalgae, which grow on the canvas and are then preserved.

Unique

Each image is created by the individual growth process of the algae. Thus, each image is a work of art created by nature itself.

Color change

Microalgae, when dry, have the property of turning their natural green coloration into a bright blue.

What is that?

Alwe Dry - What is it?

The unique look of the Alwe-Dry attracts attention and creates fascination.

Alwe-Drys bezeichnet einen getrockneten und konservierten Biofilm aus Mikroalgen. Die einzelnen Algen wachsen unter kontrollierten Bedingungen zu einer einheitlichen Schicht zusammen. Innerhalb dieser Struktur kann der Nährstoffaustausch auch zwischen den einzelnen Algen stattfinden. Zudem wird eine Schutzschicht ausgebildet, um die Algen vor äußeren Umwelteinflüssen zu schützen.

The biofilm that has grown after several weeks is then dried and preserved using a special process. This process gives the biofilm its structure and color.

In addition to forming a protective layer, the microalgae used have the ability to change their color from a green shade to a blue shade after drying. Alwe-Dry is therefore undergoing slow but constant change. The beginning and speed of this process depends on the location of the Alwe-Dry.

The biofilm is placed in a frame so that you can hang or set up the algae on the wall without much effort. You can also combine several pictures to form an algae wall.
