Kalimandscharo - Weißes Gold oder Abfall? Ideenlabor für die Zukunft der Landwirtschaft

In the organizer's words:

In the series with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can collect ideas for the future of agriculture with us! Immerse yourself in the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can help make agriculture and land use more sustainable. Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you will learn how to make donuts more sustainable with the help of AI or produce fertilizer from urine. You will bring old salt extraction techniques into the present with 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest and develop smart warning systems for the forest. Experimenting with seaweed, you will discover an ecosystem between marine cultivation, research and craftsmanship.

Salt is one of the oldest and most important substances known to mankind. The human desire for this white gold has not only driven technological developments, but also changed entire landscapes. In this workshop, we will delve into the history of salt extraction and examine how the use of this raw material has changed over the centuries. We will work with historical tools that were once used to extract the raw material. With the help of modern technologies such as 3D scanning and 3D printing, we will not only explore past practices of salt extraction, but also their archiving for the future.

Cooperation

The Berlin Open Lab (BOL) at UdK Berlin brings together researchers and ideas from different fields to enable new forms of design. The Berlin Open Lab is an experimental space for transdisciplinary research projects at the interface of technology, society and art.
