FERTILE DESIGN: How to make a basic corn starch biopolymer

Simple biopolymers are easier to make than you would think. This how to video shows how you can make a basic plastic using corn starch, vinegar, water, and glycerin. Originally produced for the Eager Research Grant Symposium at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago to teach artists how to incorporate biodegradable plastics into their work as a replacement for synthetic based plastics. Asking the questions, "What is your legacy as an artist?" and "Do you want your work to become part of the landfill problem?" Filmed by Soniya Khasgiwale Edited by Erin Delaney Directed by Jessica Gorse About Fertile Design: Jessica Gorse, Erin Delaney, and Soniya Khasgiwale are rethinking everyday objects designed for environmental sustainability and regeneration. Fertile Design is exploring the use of organic materials for the production of plateware, and plastics, embedded with seeds. Produce, use, dispose of, regenerate our environment. Fertile Design seeks to explore regenerative design by developing a biodegradable composite that will act as nutrients for soil. Looking into the future of designed objects, we propose to create a closed circuit system that is functional and fertile. Fertile Design intends to build relationships with breweries and food industries throughout the Chicagoland area, to source their waste runoffs to create a material that is load bearing and sanitary.  This new material will then be used to create a set of completely biodegradable plates embedded with the seeds of plants native to the Illinois prairie.  These seeds will work to suck out toxins from the soil as the polymer breaks down to feed the soil.
