Abstract

Design for a Cooler Planet entry. Dipoli main hall

Through two projects on display, Flowing Carbon showcases how carbon can be captured and how it is released within the soil and the cycles it travels through in green spaces in Helsinki.

The Helsinki Biochar project utilises green waste to create biochar, organic waste turned into a type of charcoal, and explores various possible uses of the material in experimental pilot sites around Helsinki. The exhibition also includes a glimpse into the practice of artist-researcher Teemu Lehmusruusu and his sculptural outdoor projects, in which carbon flows and living soil have an intrinsic, dynamic role.
