Speculative Future World Building
Date
September 2023 - February 2024
At Bacteria Design Consultancy, we are committed to bettering the health of our planet. We can collaborate to safeguard our environment through the intelligence of bacteria. Our mission is to advocate for a sustainable and harmonious world through the innovative use of biosensors to monitor environmental pollutants and toxins. We envision a future where human and microbial collaboration paves the way for a healthier planet.
Imagine a world where bacteria serve as early warning systems for our health. By implementing bacteria as biosensors, we can detect early signs of diseases or toxins in the human body. This can be as simple as taking a sample of bacteria from the user, which can be done through contact with the skin. The raw data is then transformed into insights and recommendations through collaboration with various strands of gut bacteria. These insights and recommendations can guide a dietician in creating a bespoke diet, improving both the user’s and the planet’s health.
Bacteria can also monitor environmental conditions by detecting pollution sources and ensuring the well-being of ecosystems. Biosensors are deployed to green spaces around urban and rural environments to collect data for collaboration between Bacteria and designers. This collaboration has the potential to identify sources of pollution by analysing the unnatural human disruption happening within urban green spaces. Policies and actions can then be strategised in collaboration with diverse bacteria to be implemented in cities to help our ecosystems thrive.
