The Invisible Cities: Santiago
(2017)
The invisible cities is a machine designed to sustain the life of native mosses of southern Chile. The mosses are of a characteristic southern species, found in dead forests. Growing over rotten trunks, in conditions of high humidity and low temperature. For this purpose a structure capable of temperature and water control has been designed, with a a cooling system based on Peltier plates and a external temperature insulation thanks to a double glass wall. At the same time, images are projected in real time extracted from 2 microscopes that constantly observe the micro world of the mosses.
