Video

Ben Kolak has been documenting all the Plant-related activity lately and turning it into video segments. He has two videos up on vimeo so far. The first one below follows the progress of the IIT students involved in developing the aquaponics farm for the Plant; the second video is about how John’s first building, Bubbly Dynamics, went from neglected industrial building to Sustainable Manufacturing Center.
