What We Intend to Show

BIOSPACESG//OpenBio: Bringing experimentation closer to home

Want to check your bodies with DIY EEG, ECG, EMG or a Malaria test? How about powering up with a microbial fuel cell and biosynthetic solar panels? Or milking microbes for their fermentation products? Or simply curious to learn about the environment and ecology? Empower yourself here!

The Food Futures Salon

The Food Futures Salon invites everyone to engage in a speculative design game and envision possible futures of the global food system and our day-to-day food practices. The game is played over a specially designed Digital Food Cards that outline 24 scenarios of near-future dietary lifestyles impacted by digital industry innovation. Instead of suggesting any answers or solutions, the cards raise questions and provoke the players to speculate: What, where, how and with whom would we eat in digital food futures? What would be the favorite snack of a Chew Transcender, NutriAmorist, or a Gut Gardener? Is YouTube the new digital hawker center?

Addressing the Haze: Eateries Using RSPO-certified Oil

Normal people like us can help stop the haze by motivating eateries in our vicinity to use RSPO-certified palm oil. We're working on a live map to show the outreach as it happens and highlight the RSPO-using eateries.
