Residence: Javier de la Cruz y Pelayo Bernardo
This designers will developed a project to design a water drone.
The project by Javier de la Cruz and Pelayo Bernardo works with additive manufacturing, prefab low-cost components, as well as the use of simple tools and environmentally-friendly materials.
The project develops an open-code tool, available for all users, putting art and design at the service of science.
The work will be divided in three phases: Exploration, through the development of a unmanned water device or drone to be used by anyone, due to its simplicity, that can be used for navigating, gathering data and physically exploring the ocean globally; Inter-cultural connection, through the creation of an open online platform where participants can access the projects being shared, their results and methodologies; and Dissemination, through an easy-to-use and intuitive mobile app, so that everyone can learn how to use it.
