Beneath the Pavement: A Garden
This project considers biological forms and how they relate to political and social systems. It looks at the potential of a small plot of land to tell social and political stories, deconstructing systems, propagating them and watching them grow, pollinate and die. It's a temporary, experimental school bringing together a range of practitioners to engage in exchange and co-production of a garden.
With Amy Franceschini as Futurefarmers.

Micro Turf Expedition
With a team of self-defined experts, we survey parking lot ecosystems, abandoned infra-structures, trade routes, and micro habitats of Berlin by dissecting the fringe-ecologies within the city. Analysing ecological succession, the expedition will collect samples, map wildlife, illustrate the topography, detect seismographic data, and observe the micro-climates to create scientific models of future urban habitats.

Energy Harvests
Claiming Energy Leaks as Resource
Our energy distribution infrastructures are clumsy, spilling off large amounts of energy as heat, light, and vibration in the process of delivering their goods. How might people literally plug in to surplus energies that they’ve accumulated, powering their own objects or feeding a local micro energy network?
This project promotes a growing system of grassroots energy harvesting and the potential for new socio-economic models.
With Hanspeter Kadel.
Presented at RIXC, Riga, Latvia. XI International festival for new media culture and at Visual Voltage Amplified, Felleshuset, Berlin

Raising the Rockies
Moving Corridors for Alpine Apollos
As temperatures rise globally, the tree lines in high altitudes rise along. This causes alpine meadows to become fragmented, shrinking in size and thereby reducing habitats for local species.
On this walk, people create moving meadows to guide butterflies through trees to new habitats.

Metabolic Toys Workshop
This workshop explores how products are part of the ecosystem too as they take shape, transform, decay and turn into new resources. Students will take up the challenge of tracing toy lives, playing with plants, and designing for transformation and benign toy deaths.

Cité Sauvage
Cities become a refuge to wildlife, often providing better conditions and niches than surrounding agricultural landscapes. Berlin has become the city of nightingales and is a home to about 30 000 species of plants and animals.
The co-existence of people and wildlife needs rethinking as we share the same resouces, spaces and services.
Exploration and development of concepts and tools with Dana Gordon and Jean-Baptiste Labrune. |

F.R.U.I.T.
Our food is travelling to reach us, and the environmental costs of these journeys are adding up. F.R.U.I.T. researches why we don't know where our food comes from, with reports on local food movements, proposals for agriculture in cities and offers a platform for online demonstration.
A collaboration with Amy Franceschini and Nis Roemer as Free Soil.
For "Ecomedia" at Edith-Russ-Site for Media Art, Oldenburg; Plug.in, Basel; Sala Parpalló, Valencia. 2007 - 2008
For "Beyond Green: Towards a Sustainable Art", touring US galleries through 2007.
