Atelier Luma
The design and research lab, Atelier Luma, based in Arles in the South of France, is a multi-disciplinary team that develop local solutions for ecological, economic and social change. Its pioneering research into algae explores its use and production and how algae can be integrated into the urban environment. Using 3D printing and injection moulding, Atelier Luma designs various applications that reflect the diversity and qualities of locally grown algae.

Waste Age: What can design do?
(October 2021 – February 2022)
We all know waste is a big problem. So how are we going to fix it?
A new generation of designers is rethinking our relationship to everyday things. From fashion to food, electronics to construction, even packaging - finding the lost value in our trash and imagining a future of clean materials and a circular economy could point the way out of the Waste Age.
Explore major new exhibits that capture the devastating impact of waste including a large-scale art installation by Ibrahim Mahama made from e-waste in Ghana.
The exhibition showcases some of the visionary designers who are reinventing our relationship with waste, including Formafantasma, Stella McCartney, The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, Lacaton & Vassal, Fernando Laposse, Bethany Williams, Phoebe English and Natsai Audrey Chieza.
'We must face the problem of waste – we can no longer ignore what happens to things when we get rid of them. Instead of thinking of objects as things that have an end life, they can have many lives. This is not just an exhibition it is a campaign, and we all have an active part in our future.' Gemma Curtin, Curator.

The rippled texture are bubbles due to gas rising to the surface but being unable to penetrate the layered matte of algae. There were many frogs or toads and snails and insects, but all of them too fast for me.
This is not the report of the situation of the "Blue-green algae" on coasts of Finland but just a fake coloured picture which might be used as an illustration for some equal article. Water seems to be oily and stones polluted by the blue-green algae. Hmmm.

I am getting a bit worried about these since they are getting aggressive and are growing big fast. Seems these aren't really algae eaters at all but fish that as adults can grow to a foot long and will tear the scales off other fish for a snack. Hmm, I think the pair I have are going back to the store
The "Algaeus," a Toyota Prius running on algae-developed gasoline and an electric motor, was the first vehicle to cross the United States using an algae-electric hybrid powerplant. Congressman Bilbray was on hand to receive the Algaeus as it arrived at the United States Capitol.
