Project description

For nearly two centuries, the industrial revolution has made humans the dominant force in shaping the planet. 2020 marks an important turning point when the mass of man-made objects exceeds that of biomass, and it becomes crucial to rethink our relationship with nature.

GreenFly is a citizen-led, hyper-localised flying device system. We have designed a group of sustainable, self-organising flying creatures from the S, M and L scales. This is conceived as an artificial collaborative system closely connected to nature, a complete biosphere rather than an object.

At the same time, we have designed a new numerical system based on satellite imagery, using radar spectroscopy to observe the green colour difference of vegetation over time to obtain our 'colour' indicator.

Changes in the colour of species on Earth are warning signs of environmental crises, and the uptake of synthetic substances by green plants gives us a clue to the metabolic shifts in the environment. Using this numerical system, we aim to help reduce and measure aerosols in the atmosphere and restore the Earth's thermodynamic balance.
