The Bio-Informatic Digester is a living machine that utilizes Tenebrio molitor mealworms to eat Styrofoam packaging e-waste. At the project base, the transparent tesseract cube showcases mealworms devouring polystyrene foam which has been donated by the community. Above, a mycelium “decomposition clock” compares the natural rate of decay for various common waste materials. By manifesting ecological routines into a visible spectacle, the Digester becomes a utilitarian mechanism for building awareness and communicating organically healthier societies.
