Project & Documentation: Now this project essentially was watered down to just students of the class making a dish for themselves out of the things they had and potentially some additives to it. For mine, I decided to do a seared chicken recipe that was very simple, but delicious. That paired with the light almost cucumber taste of a mojito as the perfect like side drink. Recipes for each below: Mojito with Fresh Mint & Lime Ingredients 1 ½ oz rum 6 leaves of fresh mint (reserve a couple leaves) 2 teaspoons sugar 1 lime (half squeezed juice and half cut in slices) 12 oz of soda water or lemon/lime soda Ice (served over the rocks) Garnish – leaf lettuce, piece of lime, and rosemary pieces Preparation Muddle mint and sugar together Add squeezed lime juice to mix and sugar mixture, stir Fill 16 oz glass with ice Pour soda water or lemon/lime soda over ice Add mint, sugar, lime mixture, thin slices of lime, and reserved mint leaves ...

Project & Documentation So on the first week of the project, i stole plants out of my parents garden behind our house. Some fairly small parts of healthy plants. Then cross planted them into big pots that were always near my back door or outside when the weather was nice. Mint                                      Rosemary                                      Lettuce (first sprout)                                                (April 3rd) Using some growth serums and a combination of soils helped significantly with their growth. Wishing I knew what was done with the mint since that grew the biggest. Eventually some started growing out the sides. Along with the one lettu...

Research: During all this research the article Time/Bank: Time/Food by Julieta Aranda & Anton Vidokle is a topical article in this time due to it being closed or restricted due to covid-19. This could potentially be extremely damaging to people who had low income and this project was their way of scrapping by. Now there are no statistics to show if the pandemic has damaged this, but the idea of humans having to stay away from each other to not get sick must hurt this idea.  " Time/Bank is an international community of more than 1,500 artists, curators, writers, and others in the field of art who are interested in developing a parallel economy based on exchange of time and skills." Let it be known that the idea is amazing though because it is a form of equal  exchange of work in some capacity for food to be given.  " Time/Food  is a temporary eatery that operates on the Time/Bank economic system — a platform where individuals can pool time and skills, byp...

Research: In my research for this project, the approach is much different than that of the last assignment. This one will have us physically growing plants which prior to this project, I have little to no knowledge of growing anything. So on top of the research here for the artworks I will be looking at info for growing plants well. They will most likely all have slightly different needs, but that should not be hard to find specifics for each plant. Below I have listed all 3 articles that were research for this project. Mosswand , Kilian Lingen, Florian D. Schneider: Kilian and Florian talk about virticle greening which allows them to grow much more that someone would get growing on the ground normally. As said in the article, " Vertical greening on facades and walls is a promising concept for realizing green spaces outside of the competition for space."  The vertical growing can also serve for multiple animals who would find it suitable for nesting sights as well as po...
