Some images from the two workshops hels @ FablabTorino on July 4th and July 9th. The third and last workshop will be on July 16th.

Three groups are working with Arduino boards to add interactive behaviour to Water Lilly. The idea is that she is a social creature that likes to have people approaching her, she’s happy and she boost her metabolism by absorbing more CO2 and producing more light.

The three groups are:

CO2: working on the control of a solenoid that would introduce micro CO2 bubbles in the algae solution, boosting growth, when people approach. There will be a display showing how much CO2 the algae are absorbing.
white LED: working on light pulse that increases when people approach, stimulating the photosynthesis process
RGB LED: working on a color fading to increase the photosynthesis process by adding RED and BLUE light and decreasing GREEN light, to create a color spectrum more efficient for chlorophylls.

Predicting a sustainable future
In the coming future, global population as well as the temperature of the planet will grow dramatically, while fossil resources will decline. There will be a need of more and more energy and food, and the necessity to reduce green house gas emissions. A designer, that is an innate specialist of future prediction because his work will happen forward in time, has to take in account these apparent limitations and use them as resources. A great responsibility towards future generations is on our shoulders, and our job is to face this amazing challenge with creativity!
