The Symbiotic Algae Suit
199Artists Michael Burton and Michiko Nikita came up with an interesting concept for how humans could evolve past our modern concept of food. Their solution? The symbiotic algae suit. The concept is... people would wear tubes in which algae grows, and the algae subsists on carbon dioxide from the wearer, as well as the sun's light. Photosynthetic organisms are studied by scientists, so the concept isn't too far off. Would you be interested in wearing the algae suit setup? Kim Horcher and Tim Frisch discuss the idea the art project presents.
