SILICART | Clara Escobar

SILICART

Silicart enables co-living with algae. The shape is informed by a silicoflagellate micro alga. Algae also grow on its surface. The hollow inside serves as a tank from which the algae irrigate themselves. They filter the water and lead to cleansed water to evaporate into the room which cools down the interior climate. This low-maintenance product can be crafted from local soil and is solely driven by microbiological forces fuelled by sun, CO2 and human care.
