CHATTERPLANT APPLIED DESIGN
Nowadays, most fruits and vegetables come to the cities either from intensive farming or greenhouses. Current concerns of the world made several proposes to reduce the impact that human activities have on its society and the environment. This field is no exception.
On this basis ChatterPlant looks to contribute in changing into new sustainable agriculture. Going further and controlling every single aspect of plant growth. Since SynBio and other cutting-edge researches usually get stuck laboratory benches, a real application point-of-view is mandatory for an accurate development of an innovative project. However, although we got diverse SynBio tool to internally regulate plants, we faced a lack of implementation
Thus, an integrated control system was essential in order to carry our SynBio technology to current society. A hardware device and a software tool were both key features in developing our multidisciplinary project.
BACKGROUND ANALYSIS
Our muse of inspiration was closer than we thought, nature, open agriculture and a combination of similar projects built the pillars of our main idea.
BIOART AND CUTTING-EDGE TECNHOLOGIES
Nature always has inspired artists throughout Art History, but art can also aid biology via symbiosis between both fields. Different art movements have integrated biology with avant-garde art techniques, conceiving cutting-edge bioart concepts, such as molecular and scientific photography, transgenic performances or microbiology exhibitions. In order to analyze bioart background, Salomé Cuesta, a UPV fine arts teacher, guided us where art and biology meet.
STATE-OF-THE-ART AGRICULTURE TECHNOLOGIES
To date, other projects have risen to try shaking up this situation with revolutionary concepts of agriculture such us:
- MIT Media Lab Open Agriculture Initiative, is on an objective to create affordable, more economical, and more innovative future food systems, controlling environmental conditions.
- AeroFarms, who have patented an aeroponic growing system for faster harvest cycles predictable results, superior food safety and less environmental impact.
- High technology’s greenhouses, as automated and self-regulated plant growth system.
Among these proposals highlights Open agriculture, which pretends to develop a controlled-environmental agriculture engineering platforms called "food computers". This device automatically controls different parameters, optimizing the growth conditions of the plant seeking to decrease losses alike pest damages. Inside the confined space climate conditions are automated, meeting the users requirements and desires.
However, this Food Computers only controls external factors. Some of the problems related to crops are solved, but substantial ones still exist. In many instances it is unlikely to stop a pest since their hardware cannot be 100% isolated.
Valencia UPV team realized SynBio offers all the possibilities to carry plant growth control to a higher level.
