VisualSFM Tutorial
Bouy Bloom Presentation
abcb is a Baltimore based art and design duo with partners Anna Brancaccio and Catie Buhler. We started collaborating in 2014 over a shared love of software tutorials and digital fabrication- ever since we have been designing our own workflows. Our favorite tools right now are: Agisoft, Hot plates, 3-axis CNC routers and deburring tools!

Bouy Bloom is a speculative design investigating the farming of microalgae as a supplement to fish products and the declining fishing industry, which is projected to collapse by 2050. The project pairs custom hardware with the to-be-forgotten equipment of fisheries, to grow and harvest microalgae for the production of fish meal and live Omega-3 fatty acid supplements.

Designed in collaboration with Besan Khamis and Sam Kendrick.
