Symbiont
In biology Symbiosis is a close mutually beneficial interaction between two different organisms.
The air we breathe in the places we live and work, is often 5 to 10 times more noxious than walking on the street. Prolonged exposure to high CO2 levels negatively affects our physical and mental state. Symbiont is a system that fosters the growth of micro algae to purify the air of indoor spaces based on the idea of symbiosis. Using sunlight as the energy, micro algae Chlorella Vulgaris consume carbon dioxide, essential to their growth. As a by-product they release oxygen into the air, essential for our breathing. Symbiont is a living object that explores a future where our everyday life is interconnected with micro-organisms by creating mutually beneficial relationships.
