Last summer Matthew Hockenberry and Leonardo Bonanni were invited to run a workshop in Taiwan's ancient capital city, Tainan. The city is characterized in part by a number of bustling outdoor markets or 'nightmarkets,' including the An Ping craft market prominently featured in this video. Four teams of students were asked to translate features of the local culture for a global audience using the internet. The experience confirmed the potential of online media for bringing people together, at the same time as it revealed the challenges of using mass media to express unique cultures.

The Omega Garden™ Carousel is our answer to commercial-scale urban agriculture.

Each carousel carries six, 8ft. long Omega Gardens™; equalling as much as 1500 sq. ft. of greenhouse yet only using 150 sq. ft. of floor space, including access!

This is a fully automated system. Each rotating garden is in turn rotated on the carousel down to the water/feeding tray at floor level, minimizing plumbing, while providing easy access.

This unit can be operated in an insulated structure in any climate, with unprecedented efficiency.

This visualization is based on work done by IDV under a U.S. Navy Phase II SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) contract. The "Cereal Problem" represents a common type of data analysis in the intelligence field. In this demonstration, the assembly and consumption of cereal acts as an unclassified analogy for real-world supply and demand scenarios.
