[ALG]   Algae Incubator Kit[e]



[MAT] Material System

Algae Incubator Kit(e) revolutionize agricultural by enabling the small-scale cultivation of algae on unused and non-seasonal farms. Attached to the piezo-electric kite, the Algae Incubator Kit(e) can transform the small flutter of wind into electric energy to drive the air pump or for LED lights at night. It is envisaged that the kit when plugged into the existing ecosystem will transform the food production ststem from bottom-up and build a more resilient network. 

[FLO] Tectonic Flow

Beginning from the test site, the algae kit network will extend radially to nearby productive units. Other than a geographic network, it also froms a social web integrating families together.
 

[ACT] Actualization

Actualization of the kite takes different forms in different context.
