Abstract
The exhibition Towardless: Plant-based Electrical and Art Energy presents work that has been evolving across various schools and labs of Aalto University since 2017. Its artistic inspirational foundations lie at the Baroa belaobara plantation in Aizpute, Latvia, whereas the scientific and technical aspects arise from the research of dye-sensitized solar cells.
- Blck Vlvt: first hand-painted solar panel with Aronia m. - colorants based upon a painting by JMW Turner. Made in an art_science co-creation process.
- Blck Vlvt micro-observations video documentation.
- Archive solar cells from art and science research: objects and photo prints
- Online video documentary, monograph and podcast
Organised as part of the Designs for a Cooler Planet 2021 exhibition of Helsinki Design Week 2021, Towardless presents an artistic approach to questioning and envisioning a resource-wise solar-electric future.
