As designers, scientists and artists we build a platform for art/science projects through digital fabrication experiments and traditional craftmanship. We want to change the cultural perception of bacteria, mushrooms, algae and any other bio-agents and promote the idea of sustainability through biomimicry and biohacking. At the same time, we want to develop new -interactive- materials with multiple life-cycles. | As designers, scientists and artists we build a platform for art/science projects through digital fabrication experiments and traditional craftmanship.

+ | Saturday March 8th Marcin and me transformed a low greenhouse (330cm x 150cm) into a large grow-container for skins. It was 25°C, the ideal temperature for a culture start-up. We flattened the soil in the old greenhouse and we clad the bottom and the walls with a thick black pond-plastic. I made a growth medium with 30 buckets (of 10liters = total 300l) demineralised water, 30kg of sugar, 225 teabags, 8 scoby' | ||

+ | 04052017 - Despite the ultra bad weather this whole month of april 2017, even continuing now beginning of May, the skin in the big batch container is starting to grow. It is still ultra thin and has a lot of (fermentation) bubbles. The acidity Ph is 3 and on May 4th at 6pm, the temperature of the growthmedium was 15°C. I guess it will take another few weeks at least before the skin is strong enough to harvest. | ||
+ | Contrarely, the skins that I've put to grow in the greenhouse are doing well. Both started the skin formation after a few days and they continue ... I will harvest them beginning of June. | ||
