LIGNOPACK – Bioplastic from food waste for food packaging

Faire: Rome

Maker: Università degli Studi della Tuscia

 

Every year in the field of food packaging synthetic additives are used for the development of plastic packaging, whose deleterious impact they have on the marine ecosystem and on human health is now known. LIGNOPACK is proposed as a natural alternative to the current toxic additives being composed of natural substances: lignin and chitosan. The union of these two biopolymers as nanoparticles has allowed the development of a completely natural additive that can be used in food packaging, with great advantages in terms of sustainability, performance and cost-effectiveness. “LIGNOPACK represents a biotechnological innovation aimed at the circular bioeconomy''.

Sport-graf

Faire: Rome

Maker: IIS Edoardo Amaldi Roma

 

Sport-graf is a device capable of detecting the electrical activity of the muscle through the application of three electrodes on the skin, treated with the Arduino UNO board and a wave amplifier. The device consists of a breadboard housing the components of the power supply and amplification circuits. The amplifier is powered, through a dual generator, by a lithium ion battery. The chip amplifies the signal (INA128P) coming from the three electrodes and supplies an analog output read by the analog port of the Arduino, which, thanks to the serial plotter, shows a graph with the trend of the contraction and distension activity of the muscle fibres.

PlasticDrawn

Faire: Rome

Maker: Martino Colucci

Spoon Regeneration Station

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Julia Dvorin

Home: California, United States

This spoon-centered art installation is constructed using a 10’x10’ pop-up canopy as a base. All four sides are hung with partially see-through “curtains” made from 1400+ metal spoons of various sizes attached with jump rings and interwoven with aluminum wire. One side has an opening in the middle of its “curtain” as a doorway into the space. Inside, visitors find a simple wooden bench and several camp chairs upon which to sit, rest, and contemplate spoonish things. A spoon chandelier with battery-operated candles hangs from the ceiling peak. A small table in the corner holds an interactive “spoon journal” with an explanation of Spoon Theory and the Spoon Regeneration Station project along with prompts for people to respond to with their own thoughts and stories about spoon regeneration.

Humpbacks of Notre Dame: How to Use Your Project in Activism

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: 3 Feet of Air

Home: California, United States

'Humpbacks of Notre Dame' is our award winning kinetic sculpture entry for 2022. We created our art as a tool to open a wide array of 'entry' points into a discussion about climate change. Spectators interacting with this piece lead themselves on a journey of discovery towards taking action on climate change. Elements from the original work will be recomposited as a static display, showing an example of using an existing event –the Kinetic Grand Championship– to bring awareness to the most important issue of our time: anthropogenic climate change. Whatever you or your cohort are already doing, you can use an existing venue to get your idea into the minds and hearts of others. Come see how we accomplished this with 'Humpbacks of Notre Dame.'
