The project ‘Concrete lichen’ or Living pigment by Lionel Billiet and the Kluyver Centre for Genomics of Industrial Fermentation is an examination of the biological growth of lichens on man-made surfaces such as buildings. The project above all aims to learn to propagate the lichen Xanthoria parietina, the lichen will then be planted on existing concrete walls – and the results observed.
