The excitement of growing plant is now totally mine. This year I started to grow chili seeds just from the chili I bought in India. And some others I got from a friend.

As I recognized I was a bit late to sprout the chili seeds. What led me to buy two small plants as well, but more on that later on.

As the more exciting thing is to sprout the seed and see the plant growing and their first leaves and finally the grown plants with fruits.

I was more or the less totally new to the growing of plants, so there was a lot try and error programed. Never the less it worked out well and at the moment I still have more than fifteen chili plants.

 Sprouts and seeds

All the sprouts sorted in a plastic box. All covered  with a wrapping film to keep it humid, otherwise it would dry out really quick.

The first green leaves

 This year I tried to put the sprouts into small turf cups.

Where to put all this small chili plants?

A frisbee used for the small pots. At first the didn’t really well, I didn’t care too well with watering and I killed many of the small ones. But lucky me, I had a view dozen more sprouts around.

I still have sprouts/young plants – How to give them away?

I started to put this plastic cups on top of each other with the plants in it. The perfect packing for transportation

Problems with plant louses

Mainly indoor it happen that I had huge amounts of louses on all my chili plants in my flat and in my mothers greenhouse. I tried to solve it with a mix based on soft soap, but it did just work partially. If you have some good tips, I would be more than glad.

Using the chili

Pickled chili

Slowly dried chili – keeps the colors more pure

My mom hosted me as well some space for some plants

Will I have them another year?

The last days on the terrace, it’s the middle of october now. The next thing will be to bring them in and prepare the chili for the austrian winter.

Finally!

excursion to a mine at a very special place up in the hills

as I am at the course “Erstes Wiener Nachtentwerfen” I collected some of my photos related to light.

This course is told by Susanne Seitinger

 

 

A collection referring to my interests

Random Internal Swarmlight, a kind of a virtual swarm and the best fit for an idea I had around swarm lighting. This kind of structure in a different scale enables variation of lighting in the public space.

 

This is not exactly what I thought of when I was looking for a flying light. but it shows the possibility of a flying light. Putting this in a swarm structure  could bring a totally new way of lighting. This thing could make a public lighting something very personal.

 

Now a class mate posted a much better project about flying lights, http://ersteswienernachtentwerfen.wordpress.com/2011/10/19/flyfire/

 

Bioluminsecent lighting of algae in the seawater, somehow also a kind of swarm lighting. The swarm in a very small single part.

 

A simple way to show bio-luminescent algae with a shot into the water, not a great video but some simple way of working with this potential of nature.

LUMI BOTS

*new* lumiBots documentation from Mey Lean Kronemann on Vimeo.

LumiBots are small, autonomous robots that can leave glowing traces. The robots are equipped with a UV LED at their tail which leaves a glowing trail on phosphorescent sheet. The traces do not only create generative images which tell the story of the robots’ movements, but have a deeper meaning for the lumiBots: With their light sensors, they can follow the other robots’ as well as their own trails, and amplify them, thus creating an ant-trail-like mechanism luring more and more robots on the same path.
