Nomadic Plant Cleans, Feeds

Nomadic Plant Cleans, Feeds: "



The Nomadic Plant was designed by Gilberto Esparza to seek out polluted water, clean it up and feed it needed nutrients. Powered by microbial energy, the art project also feeds itself, proving that robots will save the planet by symbiosis. The roboplant is on display at Plantas Nomadas Gijón, Spain through June 7. Seeing it makes us want to rescreen 'Silent Running', a nifty 90's flick with Bruce Dern, a huge garden and some of the cutest robot tenders that ever hit filmdom.

"REDESIGNING THE BARREL"

GameSetWatch features an interesting column about mech designs. The article mentions Junji Okubo. This guy is the responsible for Steel Battalion´s mech designs (love the concept and realization of the game) and other cool mechanical designs that you can see in his web. The column talks about For the Barrel, a serialized novel that re-imagine the history of Gundam (I have been searching and I hadn’t found too much information about it).
