Britta Riley wollte ihr eigenes Gemüse in ihrer winzigen Wohnung anbauen. Ihre Freunde und sie entwickelten also ein System, das Pflanzen in ausrangierten Plastikflaschen wachsen lässt. Sie untersuchten, testeten und optimierten mit Hilfe sozialer Netzwerke die Systeme, indem sie viele Varianten gleichzeitig ausprobierten, und gelangten so schnell zum optimalen System. Man könnte es dezentralisiertes Heimwerken nennen. Das Ergebnis? Köstlich.

Britta Riley designs and builds urban farms and other participatory artworks that explore the city. Full bio »
