Biofilia Urbana

A collaborative art-design-research project powered by @Sabadell @MedialabPrado as part of "manual for earthly survival" and based on a speculative project (cooked at @Hackuarium biohackerspace as a part of speculative design for @HEAD Genève) that actually turned into a real/feasible/enginered project see https://vlorenzolana.myportfolio.com/prinkt-plastic-its-fantastic "Biofilia Urbana" dig into posible biomaterials that we can find in different places, making possible to culture them to print a microedition of each place's microbiodiversity with a hacked 3D printer. The exploration of the poetic visual link that people's and places' bacteria and fungi can reveal. Is not only about future biomaterials, is also about multiespecies metarelations and simbiosis.
