Program
Join the BioTalk and stay ahead on the latest visions on Bio-technology and design. Dinner starts at 19:00 talks at 20:00
Ivan Henriques
Ivan Henriques is a transdisciplinarity artist and researcher from Brazil who makes multimedia installations. He developed a robot-like machine which harvests energy from photosynthetic organisms. The machine uses this energy to keep in motion so it can stay collecting photosynthetic organisms. The machine can be used to clean rivers, canals and other wetland environments.
Bernelle Vester
Bernelle Verster is a bioprocess engineer from Cape Town who sees valuable options in wastewater and the sewage plants. They emits hundreds of tons of carbon, nitrogen and phosphate. These kind of waste products can be re-used. So she says, water is a cycle like everything in nature and we need to help that cycle flow.
Dutch Weed Burger
Dutch Weed Burger uses Dutch Seaweed as their main ingredient. This superfood contains lots of minerals and vitamins and has the same amount of proteins as meat. They believe that this sustainable 'fastfood' is the source of the future and will ease the ecosystem. Since no fresh water or farmland is needed to harvest the seaweed. Tonight is your first chance to try the seaweed burger and listen to the story of these bright, entrepreneurs.
Bio Industry
This event is part of Mediamatic Bio Industry, a bio-cultural lab exploring the possibilities of fungal material and other living organisms for design, science and art. The Mediamatic Bio-talks is a monthly lecture series that invites artists and designers to present and elaborate on their work concerning bio-based research and design.
