Art and Ecology

The field of art and ecology explores how technology can interface with nature, wether that means to control, observe, or preserve. The Revival Field was one of the most important projects in this field, and used special plants to absorb toxic metals and oxides in the environment to bring life back. In the Biomodd project, plants were used in a symbiotic relationship to power old computers. There have also been many technological pieces, such as the installation that included combinations of the most popular passwords, or Yuk Cosic creating video using ACII characters. Ratios Smits was the founder of RIXC and Biotricity, where a bacteria battery created by RIXC artists and scientists interprets the bacteria "fuel into video and sound. This is also a very broad field that has many different areas within it.
