"Hydroponics with Lucy" uses the addictiveness of YouTube videos to advocate for the climate crisis. It shows a lifestyle where humans and vegetables live closely together.

There are 4 videos and 1 teaser. Each is dedicated to a topic around growing vegetables with the Kratky Method of gardening. The Kratky Hydroponics Method is the easiest way of indoor farming yielding the best small scale results. It is a soilless system where the plant is fixed to the top of a bucket and its roots is hanging into the water mixed with nutrients.

A series of tools were build to take care of the plants. They are fun to use, enhance the plant growth and push the interaction between humans and plants.

 

 

The whole studio turned into a farm, experimenting with different ways of indoor gardening. There were soil-based, aeroponics, hydroponics and kratky systems. While learning to grow food, I realised the image of produces for people who grew up in cities is very much different from the reality. With the rising development of vertical gardens and enormous indoor farms, I wondered about the future of human and plant relationship.
