The Art of Blasting Weeds
Technology enabling farmers to blast weeds with pinpoint lasers  could change agriculture, akin to the advent of the gin, tractor, or combine.Computer artificial intelligence is patterned after human vision through 20 cameras that target, identify and track weeds. The trained artificial intelligence  is able to focus on a given crop, identify it and then direct eight lasers on other vegetation in the field including volunteer crops and weeds. In real time, while the vehicle moves, the image processing and laser firing all happen simultaneously  allowing the autonomous LaserWeeder to obliterate weeds while moving  1-2 mph.

ICHIO USUI - Japanese Artist transforming food into characters
A silent Voice “Don’t treat food poorly” or “leaving food uneaten is wasteful”. These words were spoken to the artist as a child. Japan like other countries has dreadful food waste issues. The artist lent an ear to hear the voices of the lives of foods that were sacrificed because they were uneaten or past a use by date – or because they were not the right colour or shape This project places a toy eye on this waste to transform them into characters- in an effort to visualise the lives that vanish in the process of discarded food. https://ichio-usui.com
