A Radical Means
A radical departure from current means of human production is needed and possible through the study and mimesis of nature.
_A Radical Means _is a microbally induced casting procedure, which presents the bacteria Sporosarcina pasteurii as a method for cementing natural granular materials using minerals as a binding agent, for the creation of artefacts. This methodology suggests a radical future vision of industrial manufacturing, which is able to produce and form mineral composites at biological temperatures.
