Almost certainly a bit of performance art. Makes for some interesting imagery, and provocative enough to be posted and discussed here. So he’s done well.
Yeah that’s a good point. In the city there are walking around art pieces.
They are intended to be understood as art.
Thanks to whomever mentioned airgradient the other day, I’ve got indoor and outdoor sensors coming soon! It will be so nice to have visibility into the surrounding air.
Ok! I like it. Picasso!
I’ll take it any day over having to see more fucking Met Gala photos rn.
Except there is no science behind it, and if anything, it misses the point and implies a person can live off a single house plant.
Art vs science, many such cases. Decent band, too
I think it’s implying that
- Draw attention to the point that we depend on plants to breathe.
- A general dystopian portrayal of natural air becoming poisonous and that we will need supplemental O2.
- A point about how even air will be owned and sold to us in the future when billionaires have made natural air unbreathable. More subscriptions to stay alive.
Like most art. The artist allows for multiple interpretations unless they state otherwise.
But usually the point is it’s interpretive. Because the interpretation is personal. Subjective. And becomes more about the viewer than the view.
As with my 3 suggestions. Those points say more about me than they do about the artist.
ITT people assuming it is for the human. I think this guy loves his plant and wants to ensure it gets an abundant supply of CO2 rich air.
That lousy plant ain’t doing shit to clean the air. You need like 100 gallons of algae for 1 adult, what is half a litre of a plant species going to do that also wastes energy on supporting tissue?
40 gal algae per person.
That’s only 8 paint buckets. You could easily walk around with 8 paint buckets of water and algae on a wagon or cart. Y’know, once you get over the inertia, solve the splashing, and find a way to reduce the risk of momentum.
If this is New York, you’d need to put a baby in that jar to get anyone to do more than glance.
Slow down, at least let me take the jar to dinner first.
Maybe a bonsai kitten
Suddenly…Death Stranding
There was actually a guy who did an experiment to find out what you need to be self sufficient with plant-based CO2 recycling. He used large containers of algae with powerful lights and water stirring to stimulate the process and it was barely enough.

So that guy in the picture is faking it big time
Cheaper than the canned air stuff after a while
This man hates socialism so much he bought a plant and made that contraption so he can have private oxygen.
That does not look like a nut tree.
I saw a guy in YouTube test it. You need a shit ton of plants to produce enough O2 for one person. I’ll find the vid…
And sun, because they consume O2 otherwise
Emotional support fern.
Why not both?
How many aphids do you think they’ve accidentally eaten by now?
