In this episode of Science Nation, host Sorin Badea (Radio Guerrilla) welcomes Andrei Tudose (Marginal.ro) to present the culmination of the Unplugged? project and its expansion to Timișoara, at Simultan Festival.
Andrei describes speculative urban designs developed by artists Lorena Cocora and Alexandra Costea, who conceptualized a city that draws power entirely from ambient sources such as Wi-Fi waves, thermoelectric pipe differentials, and piezoelectricity generated by traffic. The conversation highlights how public engagement and localized energy harvesting can fundamentally transform everyday urban infrastructure.
Science Nation is a weekly podcast and radio column, co-hosted by Sorin Badea and Andrei Tudose, on the Update show, at Radio Guerrilla.
Unplugged? is co-funded by the City of Timișoara through the Center for Projects and The Administration of the National Cultural Fund (AFCN).
