GeoMerce

GeoMerce

《GeoMerce》計畫通過植物採礦將農業轉化為金融資產，從而重新構考農業與金融的關係。某些植物被稱為超積累植物，它們吸收並積累鋅、銅和鎳等金屬。該裝置可追蹤這種金屬吸收過程，並將其與即時金屬市場價值相關連。因此，農作物的價值在金融市場和科學進步的雙重影響下變得動態。這種農業與金融的結合對傳統的農業決策提出了挑戰，使其能夠對經濟和科學進步做出反應。

GeoMerce reimagines agriculture by turning fields into financial assets through phyto-mining. Certain plants, known as hyper-accumulators, absorb and accumulate metals like Zinc, Copper, and Nickel. The installation tracks this metal absorption process, linking it to real-time metal market values. As a result, the value of crops becomes dynamic, influenced by both financial markets and scientific progress. This integration of agriculture and finance challenges traditional farming decisions, making them responsive to economic fluctuations and scientific advancements.
