[Adoptacomposter] composting at transmediale2013

Wed Jan 23 01:43:22 CET 2013

dear all,
good to hear all the good news about the project getting in the final stage.am a bit worried for the worms though, we are approaching  -12 for the nights. hope they will survive! maybe we can ask to put them in protected area at hkw for the nights?
about the compost tea - not sure i understand properly...is it real tea made from compost? sorry for silly question, but i am not an expert in these things.
 i was thinking though, maybe we could insert into the interaction process the idea of the 'composting idea', in the sense that it is a transformation, in a way a kind of an exchange. so maybe we give away the 'tea' in an exchange for a 'thought' ( which we could specify and relate to composting maybe?), which could be fed back onto the  website as well?just an idea, but of course i will be ready/happy to contribute in the realization as well.for me any time on sunday before 3 pm would work, monday as well.
till soon,Andrea

		Hi, alex

		I would be so interested to see how the compost tea can be highlighted.

		at my home here with my parisian trashbin/composter, i regularly 'harvest' tea from the composter.

		it's help growing a avocado forest in my terrace

		soon

		Dear Shu Lea and worm composters,

		Awesome, thanks for the update. So great to see how this project has evolved!

		I've been so swamped with work and one illness after another, I haven't been able to truly participate in a more active way.

		As just a spontaneous idea to maybe generate more interaction on site, I was thinking it would be cool to offer compost tea to give/sell to people at HKW-

		like little glass or plastic containers (I could ask our lab) and labels with "ingredients" of the microbes living in there and directions for use.

		If any one thinks its a good idea and wants to help (no time to organize that alone) we could get together next Sunday/Monday before the opening to prepare materials and set-up.

		snow angel greetings to all!

		Alex

		PS @ Shu Lea and Ayumi: I would really love to interview you both (individually) about art and compost if you have some time during Transmediale.

		Please let me know!
