The concept of indoor farming is not new, since hothouse production of tomatoes, a wide variety of herbs, and other produce has been in vogue for some time. What is new is the urgent need to scale up this technology to accommodate another 3 billion people.
It took humans 10,000 years to learn how to grow most of the crops we now take for granted. The time is at hand for us to learn how to safely grow our food inside environmentally controlled multistory buildings within urban centers. If we do not, then in just another 50 years, the next 3 billion people will surely go hungry, and the world will become a much more unpleasant place in which to live.

Get lost in this website from fantabulously kitsch raptastic Japanese hip hop star Chinza Dopeness. I love the full screen video presentation and television nostalgia styling. Just wish I could speak Japanese.

Under Scan is a public art installation featuring over 1,000 interactive video portraits of people from the East Midlands and London. The portraits were filmed in the East Midlands by a a team of local filmmakers from July to October 2005 and in London at Tate Modern in September 2008. When the portraits are projected on the ground, people make them ''come alive'' by covering them with their shadows, which are cast by a powerful projector.
