“H.O.R.T.U.S. (Hydro Organism Responsive to Urban Stimuli)” - EcoLogic.
“…a sci-fi ‘greenhouse’ in which 325 transparent photobioreactor bags containing nine different species of algae have taken the place of traditional plants… The bags come attached with clear plastic tubes, into which visitors can blow and assist the oxygenation and growth of the algae with their very own carbon dioxide. Visitors are also invited to whip out their smart phones and scan QR codes to access information about the algae, triggering a flow of information in tandem with the flow of biomass. Scans and tweets about the exhibition are harnessed to actively shape a virtual garden rendered in real time on a screen in the exhibition.”
