TOXIN SPORES expands upon concepts explored in pH-NEGATIVE, an experimental architecture project. These mechanical flora filter the highly poisonous pollutants plaguing the air of DTLA after cataclysmic weather events, hyper-corrosive acid rain, rendered the area uninhabitable.
The installation was first unveiled at Sturt Haaga Gallery at Descanso Gardens, LA, then re-installed at the Art Center Gallery for 3 months, where it ran continuously. HNZLR was granted the 37th Takifuji Award, including a cash purse and an expensed trip to Japan, where he presented the project in Tokyo.
