PLASTOBACILLUS™ AUTOMAT [BATCH 04-PE]
“Accelerating the metabolic inevitable by vending living SCOBY beverages brewed directly on micro-milled credit card shavings and municipal synthetic runoff.”
Capitalism colonized our endocrine systems decades ago; PLASTOBACILLUS™ accepts this biological merger not as toxicity, but as an artisanal substrate. By engineering closed-loop fermentation vats inside a refrigerated vending chassis, we transmute high-density polyethylene debris into probiotic sodas that train human gut flora to digest synthetic debt. The automat operates as an unmonitored street-level refinery at the intersection of municipal greywater and sovereign microbiology. Drink your own externalities.
WALL TEXT
PLASTOBACILLUS™ AUTOMAT [BATCH 04-PE] documents an illicit bio-remediation terminal operating within the greywater bypass system of the Basel Institute for Immunology. Rejecting ecological nostalgia, the installation accepts synthetic toxicity as metabolic destiny. Modified commercial refrigeration units harness bespoke microbial consortia to digest shredded consumer polymers into consumable, probiotic kefir. By redistributing microplastic runoff directly back into the human digestive tract, the work converts petrochemical externalities into somatic debt, offering gut-level bio-adaptation in place of systemic structural reform.
Installed in the basement corridor of the Basel Institute for Immunology, operating continuously on an isolated greywater bypass loop.
Provenance: Commissioned by the Decentralized Gastro-Ecology Guild in 2024, confiscated by Swiss cantonal bio-safety inspectors, and subsequently acquired via automated liquidation auction by a petrochemical hedge fund.

ENGINE SELF-CRITIQUE
The visual artifacts execute the bio-industrial surveillance aesthetic with uncanny precision, capturing the institutional chill of cantonal municipal corridors and the clinical absurdity of pink microplastic fermentation. The thermal FTIR spectral receipt is exceptionally faithful to authentic degradation chromatography, grounding the speculative biology in crisp empirical realism. The canned dispense capture cleanly articulates the commodification of systemic metabolic pollution, with only minor aesthetic drift in the can's desaturated label finish.
