Radiant Beach

New Order 1/5: Martti Kalliala

Gepost door: Jolien Ruiter, 21 feb 2012, 10:13

Het gebruik van atoomkracht heeft de 20e eeuw zowel grote risico's als grote verworvenheden gebracht. De Finse architect Martti Kalliala onderzoekt in zijn werk hoe je nucleair afval kunt gebruiken voor recreatieve doeleinden. Gefascineerd door de warme nagloed van kernafval heeft Kalliala een kunstmatig strand gecreëerd midden in de grote tentoonstellingshal van Mediamatic. Tien dagen lang zal de installatie Under the Beach, a Radiant City te zien zijn en de stralende bliksem van Zeus je tot op het bot verwarmen.

Tijdens twintig edities van Over Datum Eetclub bereidden eetgasten vorig jaar met steeds weer een andere topkok heerlijke maaltijden van over datum producten. Zembla maakt een reportage over houdbaarheidsdata en voedselverspilling, en Over Datum Eetclub mag daarin natuurlijk niet ontbreken. Daarom organiseerden we een speciale pop-up Over Datum Eetclub.

We vierden de sluiting van de Schommelclub met een weekend vol feest. Zondag carnaval voor de hele familie, zaterdagmiddag een performance, en in de avond muziek, sjansen en spelen. Voor de romantici, eenzame swingers en grijpgrage duwers hadden we twee live bands, een veejay en deejay, oesters en een dating spel.

Margarita and the Mycelium Factory

My visit to the Ecovative Design headquarters

Gepost door: margarita osipian, 30 jan 2012, 14:53

Finding myself on the other side of the ocean, I went to visit Ecovative Design, a sustainable materials company in upstate New York. Ecovative is the birth place of the myco-material that sparked the beginning of the Paddestoelen Paradijs exhibition and the Mycelium Rising project.

  • Myco-material boxes-

    These bio-degradable boxes were grown out of mycelium roots and agricultural waste, with a cute mushroom molded into the side.

  • In the words of Paul Stamets, 'mushrooms can save the world', and there's no better place to see these world saving powers than in a tucked away industrial area in Green Island, New York. With the goal of replacing everything from petroleum based plastics (like Styrofoam) to particle board (which is made using carcinogenic formaldehyde) with a renewable mycelium based material, Ecovative is harnessing all the world saving possibilities of the mushroom. Eben Bayer, the CEO of Ecovative, took us on a little tour of this rapidly expanding facility.

    The Process

    Having only seen the finished mycelium based materials, and som...

The Secret Art of Growing Mushrooms

Learn how to make your own wood-based substrate on which to grow Shiitake mushrooms

Gepost door: Heleen Emanuel, 27 jan 2012, 12:10

There are several ways of making substrate (substrate is the growing environment for mushrooms). The three most common methods are with a compost-base, with a sawdust-or wood-chip based mixtures, and using straw. In this workshop we will make a sawdust substrate. You will take your substrate bag home after the workshop, where you can wait to see the mushrooms grow in the comfort of your own home.

  • Shiitake 3rd stage-

  • What?

    30 years ago the white button mushroom was the only mushroom you could find in the supermarket. A lot of things have changed in the meantime, but most people still only eat the white button mushrooms. Getting people to grow and consume all the varieties of mushrooms has been a slow process. This workshop is innovative and exciting because growing your own mushrooms is a new form of agricultural technology.

    We begin the workshop by sterilising the sawdust in a pressure cooker to get rid of the existing mold and fungus spores that are often naturally present on the wood. After we cool down the wood chips we add agra-...
