kloro-base found its first host

June 30th, 2009 . Posted in kloro-base

taking the shape of a wooden geodesic dome the first seed of kloro-base has been planted. the kloro-dome digs its roots into the rooftop of the ancient belle-vue brewery alongside the canal in the center of brussels, now home of the art2work project.

as a gentle parasite kloro-dome has attached itself, and will start using its host’s otherwise wasted energy flows, such as heat and water.

once kloro-dome is turned into an operational greenhouse the seeds of what should become klorofil’s first city-made vegetables will be planted.
