A kind of “cyber-garden” with over 300 “photobioreactor” hanging bags of algae
After smart tech takes over the home and the car, gadget gardening looks like it could be the next frontier. This new gardening prototype is an interactive algae farm, that hosts micro and macro-algal organisms as well as bioluminescent bacteria. Designed to engage notions of urban renewable energy and agriculture, the installation is fitted with ambient light-sensing technologies and a custom-designed virtual interface.
Designed by London-based collaborative ecoLogicStudio, H.O.R.T.U.S. (Hydro Organisms Responsive To Urban Stimuli) is a kind of “cyber-garden” with over 300 “photobioreactor” hanging bags of algae. The different species generate oxygen, biomass and energy and once harvested, can be used to “extract bio-oil, cook super-snacks and weave biologic fabrics”.
