    PDP/AV1 | 2014 - 2015

PDP/AV1 project has been focused on investigating the possibility of viewing organic battery power through plasma screens and synthesizers. The installations, shows the research process started in 2010 to offer the possibility of using expired food in energy production. By means of a simple open hardware the energy acquired from fruit and vegetables is transformed through integrated circuits into audio-visual installations. Apart from an interesting audio-visual form the installations become the social criticism of the current consumerist society and also offer a certain alternative for a further use of fruit and vegetables which were considered as redundant and unsalable by superstore chains.
