ecology, Gilberto, Esparza, bioart, art

La planta nómada en sí, es un ecosistema contenido en un robot biotecnológico conformado por plantas y microorganismos viviendo simbióticamente en el cuerpo de una máquina. Este organismo vive cerca de los ríos que están siendo contaminados por los desechos de la urbe, se desplaza para encontrar el agua –residual- y la procesa para poder transformar nutrientes en energía, cumpliendo así sus ciclos vitales. http://we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2010/04/-1-cuando-lei-acerca.php Gilberto Esparza first appeared in the radar of bloggers a couple of years ago when he started colonizing Mexico City with Urban Parasites. Made of recycled consumer goods, the small robotic creatures explore the urban space in search of any source of energy they can feed on. Under its quirky, amusing side, the project also had the objective of providing a basis for a critical exploration of the role that technology plays in cities.
