Algae bed

Algae bed, as part of an exhibition on alternative future housing, explores the application of algae in everyday life.

In the prototype, we used dinoflagellates - algae that have the ability to bioluminescence. (creating and emitting blue light). Pipes with seawater and algae are placed on a rotating structure. The movement of the structure causes water waves in the pipes and by moving the water, the algae emit light.
