volvox

Right: Meeting “Kuka” the robot camera to explore movement possibilities in preparation for the Schön! editorial Volvox Labs, Brooklyn NY.

This editorial, “Synthesis” for Schon! magazine, began as an idea from the photographer Julia Comita, whom I collaborated with alongside creative director Alex Palomo and Volvox Labs in New York.

“Volvox,” I read, “it’s Volvox. Is that how you say it?”

Multicellular Volvox can do both at once, because its cells have specialized.

The smaller cells always have flagella, which sweep nutrients over the Volvox's surface and help it swim.
