Photosynthesising Flowerpots II

Photosynthesising Flowerpots brings human artefact and living environment together in a symbiotic relationship. A porous pot structure and photosynthetic cyanobacteria grow in tandem to form an artefact. While the pot structure supports, or hosts, cyanobacteria and feeds them with soil, moisture, daylight and air, the photosynthetic microorganisms strengthen the structure of the flowerpot through biomineralisation.
