Berlin Micro-Turf Expedition

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 16:18:05 +0000

As part of the Urban Wilderness Action Center, Myriel Milicevic + Jon Cohrs are organizing the Berlin Micro-Turf Expedition. With a team of self-defined experts (you), we will survey parking lot ecosystems, abandoned infrastructures, trade routes, and micro habitats of Berlin by dissecting the fringe-ecologies within the city.
The expedition will report back live to the ElectroSmog festival with its band of specialists who will setup up camp in several different areas in Berlin.
Using a methodology that analyzes 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.

Please join our expedition on March 20th and let us know what expertise you would like to contribute. We’re looking for documentarians, anthropologists, photographers, seismologists, illustrators, micro-climate inspectors, ornithologists, soil tasters, and other expertise.

We will begin the expedition at 2pm on March 20th.
Electrosmog Festival Streaming will be from 7pm.

seed weapons

admin — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 21:57:16 +0000

I’ve begun working on a my new project to develop seed weapons. AK47’s and grenades are powerful images and symbols; symbols of revolt, but also symbols of violence and death. I’m planning on developing a whole series of weapons that will aggressively disperse seeds, using tactics similar to the original uses of such weapons. you can see the details of my project here.
