*SOYA C(O)U(L)TURE* is a research-based product development by XXLab. The research aim is to grow and program an alternative energy, food and bio material from liquid soya waste using bacteria and tissue culture. Tofu and tempeh made from soya beans are common healthy food for Indonesians, made by biological process. Indonesia has a lot of tofu and tempeh production, from small-scale (home industry) to large-scale (factory). But these produce liquid waste that pollutes the water and rivers around the factories.
XXLab is a collective of women from various backgrounds, such as artists, designers and programmers, focusing on art, science and free technology facilitated and supported by the HONF Foundation, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. *SOYA C(O)U(L)TURE* is one of their recent projects that aims to reduce water pollution and poverty. XXLab creates and grows edible cellulose using *Acetobacter xylinum* as food, at the same time processing a microbial fuel cell and bio material that could in future be used as an eco-friendly alternative source of energy, food and organic fabric.
This project uses cheap, organic material that could be developed into various products with an economic value. It could be produced and developed in any home using ordinary kitchen utensils, combining open-source software and hardware using DIY or DIWO (do-it-with-others) methods. This development could become an alternative solution for a sustainable economy to create or increase income for women in the low-income areas.
