FLOWER MOON

  • BIOREGION INSTITUTE AS 227 Damsgårdsveien Laksevåg, Vestland, 5160 Norway (map)

We welcome you to the Full Flower Moon. It will be a unique event with the opening of the BIODEEPMAP exhibition joined with SLAM DUNK project speculative use of micro algae.
We look forward to see you there.

Our program BioDeepMap, aimed at deep mapping bioresources for artistic research-based activities and innovative material development, will showcase the work of the participating artists and designers.

BioDeepMap brings competence across crafts, art and design together with scientific expertise to produce knowledge for a new and more sustainable materiality. Through three modules, seven artists and designers worked on material innovation with experts from other disciplines within the sciences and humanities. The participating artists and designers used different residual organic raw material to explore the properties, aesthetics, and potential of bio-based materials. 

Slam Dunk aims to develop a sustainable value chain for the conversion of fish sludge into valuable products. As such, the project is not only work on solutions for the sludge problem, but actually turn the aquaculture sludge into value. Novel treatment technologies (anaerobic digestion, pyrolysis, and microalgae) are developed or optimized, and integrated to turn the sludge into potential materials for use in several sectors, such as architecture, consumer goods, and textiles.
