We bouwen een ruimteschip en gaan op oefenmissie, NRC


Seeker [EH3] was built and presented during the Dutch Design Week in 2013. This Seeker project was part of exhibition 'Play the Future: Scenario City' curated by MADlab. SEEKER [EH3] was an co-operation between Angelo Vermeulen, students of TU/e and external volunteers. The concept of this Seeker was based on growing. By connecting a series of caravans, a cost-saving space architecture was brought to life. The caravans and construction were demountable. What made this exhibition interesting was that during the Dutch Design Week an isolation mission took place. Six people have lived in the spaceship for two whole days. The spaceship was self-sufficient with water, plants and energy. All the plants were edible and were growing with a hydroponic system. In the reservoir there was drinking water and a system that purified the dirty water. The solar panels provided the energy that was used during the mission.

Seeker

Seeker is a worldwide series of co-created starship sculptures that evolve over time. In this community art project participants are invited to fundamentally rethink the future of human habitation and survival. Participants build self-sustainable systems simulating interstellar exploration using the methodology of co-creation. This is achieved by radically interconnecting technology, ecology and people, while at the same time tapping into local traditions
