Daily Harvest Performance.
The Solar Share stages a form of planetary economics based on photosynthesis. Every day a microalgae culture converts sunlight into edible biomass. The yield of the 1 sq.m bioreactor is a concrete means of measuring solar income—actual new energy entering the Earth’s metabolism.
The harvest will retrieve this yield and prepare it for storage. The workshop includes a walkthrough of the project, the science behind it and an opportunity to discuss the implications with the artists.

DISNOVATION.ORG merges contemporary art, research and hacking to critically translate complex socio-ecological debates into operative and provocative exhibits. They create radical artworks staged as large lab experiments focused on energy, ecology and economics that work as catalysts for staging futures that diverge from prevailing narratives. Their shows, books and videos permeated global cultural landscapes, fostering a critical dialog at the nexus of artistic, political and scientific inquiry.
