9789493329034: Diana Scherer - Interwoven - Exercises in Root System Domestication

Synopsis

Visual artist Diana Scherer is one of the pioneers in biotech art.

At the core of her botanical installations and textiles lies a great curiosity about what neurobiologists call ‘the brain of plants’. Scherer studies plants and root systems and applies the intelligence of plants in her work. She employs a unique technique with which, using natural growth processes, she creates mesmerising and seemingly fragile tissues of plant roots with various structures. Scherer’s work is thought-provoking but above all a poetic portrayal of the human urge to control nature versus natural intelligence.

The invited authors highlight the various sides of the Interwoven project from their fields of expertise. The design of the publication is made by Mainstudio (Edwin van Gelder, Moritz Eggmann), with texts by Giovanni Aloi, Colin Huizing, Judith Elisabeth Weiss & Hertbert Kopp-Oberstebrink, Philip Fimmano, Jiwei Zhou, and Norbert Peeters.
