Hi all, Nik and I will be attempting to get plants talking to fluxus next week (amongst other activities such as closely watching grass grow) at sommercamp+workstation 2009 in Berlin.
We are also performing on Sunday night at Ausland: http://www.ausland-berlin.de/sommercamp-workstation-2009 ------------------------------>8------------------------------------- Plant perception and patabotanical simulations. Exploring the technical and poetic challenges of plant perception, botanical data and its representation in computer based human interfaces. plants as electric organisms. FoAM's sprawling groworld project forms an interstice between ecology, culture and technology, brings together three forces capable of transforming the world on human and ecological scales: design, permaculture and technology. These strands of inquiry inform and support each other in symbiotic relationships between the post-industrial human societies and the rest of the Earth. The workhop forms an open loop into some of the myriad aspects of groworld, including experiments in plant sensing and plant perception, simulation of plant groth and ecological systems, game hacking and the potential for a patabotanical reinterpretation of the tiergarten. http://fo.am/groworld http://lib.fo.am/plant_sensing http://www.sommercampworkstation.de/
