Pink flamingos, spirulina and urine, 3ª Puaj! Session in Hangar
THIRD SESSION: PINK FLAMINGOS, SPIRULINA AND URINE
Gaia, the living Earth, transcends in much to any particular organism or even any population. The residue of one organism is the food of another. Unable to distinguish between someone’s food and someone else’s waste, the Gaia system recycles material on a global level. Gaia, the system, emerges from ten million or more connected living species that form its incessantly active body.
MARGULIS, Lynn – Symbiotic Planet
We started from Lovelock’s “Gaia hypothesis”, forgetting the idea of the environment as a static scenario, and imagined it together with life as a unique system, which like our body, is formed by billions of life forms working together, which grow, metabolize, produce and modify their environment. In the process of understanding how parts of the environment can become organized within the body, we invoked our aquatic ancestors, who allowed us to become bone structures by metabolizing calcium, an overabundant toxic waste in seawater. While reading and discussing texts of James E. Lovelock, Lynn Margulis and Dorion Sagan, we offered water to drink and collected the urine of the participants.
We recognized and named Spirulina as a cyanobacteria, a determining form of life in the evolution of the terrestrial biosphere, we looked for it in the alkaline lakes where pink flamingos drink and we asked ourselves why it is still marketed as an algae. We paid attention and took into account the ecological impact of how we grow our food. We researched and experimented with technologies for growing Spirulina at home, using urine as a nutrient, a local, inexpensive ingredient, with an optimal ratio of macronutrients, assembled the kit from Xarxa spirulina and divided and shared the Spirulina culture, learned how to make Water ash to alkalize and iron juice by removing it from rusty screws.
We closed the circle by nourishing ourselves by agar jelly made out of Animated water from the first session and Spirulina powder, feeling its light illuminating our cells, its protein and chlorophyll, a cleansing phytonutrient, detoxifier of the blood, which under the microscope is confused with it.
Thanks to all the participants for their patience, their presence and their care.
