In_Organisms is an exploration of fictioning and embodied intelligence. Beginning as an idea to create a working sculptural algae bioreactor concept, the project evolved through the material constraints I put myself under, of recycling PET drinks bottles as the primary material of its production, into a pure speculative exercise.
