Aquaponics Performative Sculpture
These images show a sculpture called, “See Me, Eat Me, Smell Me, Feed Me,” an equilibrated aquaponics system. The plants use carbon dioxide produced as the fish respire (breaking down the sugars in their food and oxidizing the carbon-carbon bonds) to produce oxygen (which is subsequently added to the water using an electric bubbler to enable the oxidation process of cellular respiration). The fish produce a nitrogen-rich waste product (fish pee) which they excrete into the water. This nitrogen-enriched water is then pumped up into the basil plants above (which I salvaged from the dismantled PS1 and WORK Architecture Company Public Farm Exposition http://www.publicfarm1.org/), acting as a fertilizer!
