Amy Franceschini collaboration showcased in MOMA's Design and the Elastic Mind

Submitted by ZERO1 on Fri, 2008-01-25 17:03

The "Lunchbox Laboratory" a collaboration between Amy Franceschini (of Futurefarmers) and the Biological Sciences Team, National Renewable Energy Lab, is a prototype art project for a distributed research laboratory that allows for young scientists to test collected algae strains. The algae is collected and tested to confirm its function as a renewable energy form that can produce biodiesel to power automobiles and other devices as an alternative to fossil fuels.

Lunchbox Laboratory will be included in MOMA's Design and the Elastic Mind, a survey of the latest developments in the field of design. It focuses on designers' ability to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and social mores, changes that will demand or reflect major adjustments in human behavior, and convert them into objects and systems that people understand and use.
