At the same time it is innovative “bacteria battery” technology science experiment, in a research of which the RIXC artists for many years now are collaborating with biologist Arturs Gruduls and other LU Institute of Solid State Physics. Unique art and science experiment “Pound battery” in LU Botanical garden will work until first frosts, but it is hoping to await spring as well.
