Hello world!


Ross Dalziel

"I'm an artist in Liverpool influenced by the 'internet of things' which is about connecting real world objects and activity to the internet ; I'm interested in how technology can work with growing and growing can help technology. Agriculture is the oldest technology after all. Im also interested in making information and technology more open through open source software and hardware and am currently organising a festival of open source culture in 2012 in Liverpool. I like the idea of a permaculture of natural technology and of making food production open source and DIY. To borrow terms from software, we should be not just food 'users' but food 'developers' or 'admins'

I also like cooking vegetables from my wife's allotment. Im not a good gardener as i cant dig any more because of a disability so technology and cooking is my way in ;)"

Look out for more profiles from the rest of the Agri spaces group....(with better pictures hopefully!!)

Im really inspired by the work done here http://www.refarmthecity.org/

Ive been working on this recently with the excellent artist Ticky Lowe getclosertowildflowerseeds.blogspot.com
