Strict vegan diet to feed a hydroponic garden

I’ve just been recommended to check in this blog this amazing project called N=1=NPK=KIMCHI=N (try do not forget the name!) by Korean artist Jae Rhime Lee.

The project began with a customized diet designed to transform her urine into an ideal nutrient solution for plants. She tested her urine, followed a strict vegan diet which included lots of tofu and spinach, and built a mobile urine recycling unit outfitted with a urinal, bed, table, urine processing system, and hydroponic garden. She grew napa cabbages hydroponically with her urine, made kimchi from the cabbages, and served the kimchi to the public. Jae Rhim is currently doing research for a film/design project about life preservation.

..but just wanted to thanks so much for a wonderful, interesting & stimulating day yesterday ..
Louise K Wilson, artist and Biorama Hiker

…little tired I have to admit, but happy about the last two days full of new impressions, I just uploaded the pictures from this weekend on my laptop and had to smile, I really enjoyed exploring mars (“den” dissappeared), looking for sattelites and and …. to be in this meeting/accumulation of very interesting artist and works, this was really a very special group and mixture and also the format I realized I found really generative / procreation.

We found it enjoyable, stimulating and interesting. I have put the Biorama Hike and Biorama Sessions online:

…it was a real pleasure meeting everyone… it was a real struggle getting our arses in gear but it ended in delight.

was great, thank you. A really good introduction to that kind of work for me, since I only knew a little bit about a couple of those people (and nothing about the frogs and elves, for example, both of which I really liked), but also seemed a very impressive line up to get in Huddersfield and in the Mill.
