We returned to Longdendale Environmental Centre with our moss and soil samples, where we created miniature terrariums and ‘boundary detectors’. The boundary detectors are terrariums with built-in electronics that extract energy from the soil and moss. These Bio-Photo-Voltaic devices exploit the photosynthesis of the moss and the microbes in the soil to generate electricity [similar to an earth, or microbial batery]. The electricity powered a simple circuit which will allow us to hear the sound of light. in the next workshop, we will explore ways to use this to interact with invisible signals and sound.
