Open Lab Evening: Seagrass as an intelligent material
Laboratory of ideas for the future of agriculture
© Foto: Arndt Peter Bergfeld
What are ecological networks and what significance do they have for an ethical future? And (how) can we see ourselves as part of ecological networks? Using the example of seagrass (Zostera marina), you will deal with this topic in a very practical way.
Through haptic explorations and handicraft (historical and modern) techniques such as weaving, braiding and pressing, you will not only learn about the materiality of seagrass, but also about the underlying connections of our ecosystems.
What role can seagrass play - for nature as well as for the marine cultivation of the future? For local production, architecture and modern sustainability?
In the series with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can join us in collecting ideas for the future of agriculture! Immerse yourself in the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can contribute to making agriculture and land use more sustainable. Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you will learn how to make donuts more sustainable with the help of AI or produce fertilizer from urine. You will bring old salt extraction techniques into the present with 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest and develop smart warning systems for the forest. Experimenting with seaweed, you will discover an ecosystem between marine cultivation, research and craftsmanship.
Cooperation
The Berlin Open Lab (BOL) at UdK Berlin brings together researchers and ideas from different fields to enable new forms of design. The Berlin Open Lab is an experimental space for transdisciplinary research projects at the intersection of technology, society and art.
Workshop leader:
-> Louis Bindernagel, BOL
Louis Bindernagel is a designer who creates connections between people, materials and environments. In Greek refugee camps, he transformed plastic waste into useful objects - always in close collaboration with the community. As a project manager in Berlin, he experienced how participatory design can revitalize public spaces and reconnect people. These experiences shape his systemic, interdisciplinary approach, which combines ecological, cultural and material aspects.
