During this talk we will discuss two of our most recent works, 'Crypto Miner Car' (2022) and ongoing work ‘Photosynthesising flowerpots' (2023). The Crypto Miner Car is a blockchain-based installation. Central to the work is a crypto mining platform with GPU units hacked to recover waste heat and power a car while mining crypto coins. 'Photosynthesising Flowerpots' look at some experiments conducted to feature a flowerpot that photosynthesizes crafted out an uncanny symbiosis between a man-made flowerpot and cyanobacteria.
