PuroSole Sistemi Solari a radiazione diretta

Faire: Rome

Maker: Digitarch Farm srl

Heliostats are devices that reflect the sun's rays onto a fixed target. They use motorized reflecting surfaces that automatically follow the trajectory of the Sun. Today they are used only in large plants for the production of electricity with reflecting surfaces of hundreds of square meters and millionaire investments (such as the Archimede thermodynamic plant by Carlo Rubbia). But we think that a heliostat can also be used for other purposes, such as: lighting environments where the sun does not reach, cooking food, water pasteurization, etc. and without the need to use any type of energy other than solar radiation. We have therefore studied and created a simple, cheap and easy to use heliostat. The study and creation of the first prototypes required several years and involved considerable economic resources. A medium-sized coffee roasting plant (30 kg/hour) was also built. The plant, the Hw/Sw projects, the patents, the prototypes, were brought by the partners supplied to the new Start Up Digitarch Farm which will develop the production and commercial process using the already registered PuroSole brand.

GIY Materials: Growing Fungi for BioFabrication

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Elizabeth Marley

Sass N Harmony

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Sass N Harmony

Home: California, United States

Sass N Harmony is a multi-instrumental trio, best described as soul folk. The music of Sass N Harmony is imbued with mischief and magic to bring you lyrics immersed in archetypes and folk-tales. Their vocals fly together like a tight triangle of birds overhead, agilely changing directions when needed. At times angelic and feathery and other times cackling and edgy, full of tension and resolve, with lyrics that go straight to the heart. We will be performing on the Rock the Bike pedal power sound system. We are proud to have previously toured with bike-powered sound through 14 different countries in Europe and North America for a total of over 12 months of biking!! We are looking forward to contributing to this ongoing community of environmental musicians and sustainable technologies!

Immersive Cube Experience

Faire: Rome

Maker: EY

The "Immersive Cube" is a three-dimensional environment that offers an immersive experience by projecting content, images and videos onto all the inner surfaces of the cube. In addition, it will be possible to further immerse oneself in virtual reality by using VR and AR headset, allowing the user to interact with objects and digital spaces. In detail, the experience will be divided into three different use cases: - TEA Research lab, which will allow the user to learn about genome editing projects for stronger, climate-resilient plants - Malteria Brewery Virtual Tour, where the user will be able to explore the secrets of the malt house, interact with themed objects and discover the traceability function of the beer in bottle - Sensorial Tour; here, users will be able to test themselves, trying to associate the right type of oil with the aroma perceived inside the Cube. What the three experiences have in common is a new way of conveying information and learning notions that are often complex (such as neuroscience or genome editing) or difficult to physically reach (such as visiting a malt house). This allows the public to learn more about the products they are going to buy, and be more aware of new scientific discoveries useful in underlining concepts such as made in Italy, food sovereignty and sustainability.
