Our two floating drops of matter, proto-cells, will give us the chance to witness a small miracle unfold before our very eyes. Visit <strong>of them<\/strong> inert units became <strong>a<\/strong>. Alive? This transition from non-life to proto-life takes shape before our very eyes, as the drop-cell divides into two, then four identical units. Only when the two inert entities are united can organic matter self-organize to divide, once, twice, ad infinitum. Once the process has begun, the working drop will fall. And two new drops begin their ballet. Over and over again.\nThe drops are held in suspension by acoustic levitation, and the image of their dance and fusion is projected onto the ceiling. A song immerses us, captive, in this endless process.\n\t<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Chemical reaction in acoustic levitation\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/418488663?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Work in creation Project winner of the STARTS program of the European Commission Suspended moment presents the ballet of two drops in levitation, two bodies and their milky way, suspended in the air, which approach gently, then merge...
