作品介紹:
動態自造實驗室長期關注社會設計與綠色能源相關議題,作品〈流動〉在種滿植物的平台,同時種植約120個土壤發電裝置,植物行光合作用後所產生的酸,讓土壤裝置產生電力,提供LED燈所需電能,使其產生植物生長時所需的波長之光,讓植物行光合作用,使其成為自體循環的作品。本裝置同時提升鎖水性設計,滿足植物對水的需求,並改善電極材質、形狀、接觸面積等,提升發電效率。憑藉自體能量的轉換,打破能量的主從關係,嘗試創造一種自體生長的循環。

Revolving its creative philosophy around social design, FabLab Dynamic pays particular attention to green energy and several related issues. It previously ran a series of workshops on soil power generation and initiated an ecological protection project titled Free Fireflies, trying to find an environment-friendly way of power generation from green and renewable energy sources for the purpose of firefly conservation. The work exhibited this time consists of a floating platform covered in green vegetation and equipped with around 120 soil power generation devices. The acid produced by the plants via photosynthesis will drive these devices to generate electricity required to power the LED lights. These LED lights go on at a preset power, so as to offer constant light wavelengths that stimulate the plants’ growth, thereby making this work circulate in an autologous fashion. Apart from providing the plants with far infrared and blue light sources, this installation has an enhanced water-locking base that meets the plants’ need for irrigation. Moreover, the material, shape, and contact area of the electrodes are improved insofar as to increase the devices’ power generation efficiency. By virtue of the self-powered system, an interdependent relationship eventually emerged between the plants and the power generation devices. To sum up, this installation is designed to transcend the traditional confines of the master-slave model between energy and its sources by technologically creating an endless, autologous circulation.
