South Pole Station enters LAGI 2012

In a collaboration with Martin Malthe Borch [biologigaragen.org] (cand. s.sc.eng. biotecnology) and Johan Andersen-Ranberg (PHD, Institut for Plantebiologi og Bioteknologi/Plantebiokemi), SPSers Anders Krogdal, Sune Rieper and Jakob Ingemansson, is currently working towards a proposal for an algae based energy infrastructure on Staten Island NYC.
Prototyping happens mainly in Bageriet (The Bakery, Burmeistersgade 10, Copenhagen), where curious people are always made welcome Deadline: June 30th.

In partnership with New York City’s Department of Parks & Recreation, the 2012 Land Art Generator Initiative design competition is being held for a site within Freshkills Park (the former Fresh Kills Landfill) in New York City.
LAGI 2012 is an ideas competition to design a site-specific public artwork that also functions as clean energy infrastructure for New York City.

”What is needed in order to bridge the gap, between the larger desire for a renewable future and the community level negative reactions to the application of the systems required for it, is an artistic movement that can set a course towards developing stronger aesthetic considerations in sustainable infrastructure”
(The Landart Generator Initiative)
