Tuur Van Balen is a student of Desing Interactions at the Royal College of Art in London.
// My City = My Body is part of ongoing research into future biological interactions with the city and more precisely into how the increasing understanding of our DNA and the rise of bio-technologies will change the way we interact with each other and our environment.
Tuur turned his attention to drinking water.
Water service companies add fluoride to the water to reduce tooth decay, in the UK, in the USA and other countries. It has also been said that the army in some countries added bromide to drinking water in order to quell sexual arousal amongst male soldiers. Male fish in some area turn female because the oestrogene in birth-control pills ends up in the river.
