Description:

How do plants perceive their environment, how do plants and environments interact? How can we turn these processes into an immersive experience, to what extent can our concepts and technologies do justice to the plant world?

In the agricultural industry, the combination of plant breeding and cybernetics is aimed at optimizing crops. Machine learning and robotics are used to achieve higher yields, disease resistance and climate adaptation.

In the seminar ‘The Plant Plant’, we invite you to put aside any productivity factors and hand over control to the plants. With the help of DIY sensors and microcontrollers, we attempt to measure interactions between plants and their environment and transform the collected real-time data into a dynamic spatial atmosphere. We draw inspiration from cybernetic control systems and provoke various types of feedback between plants, the environment and humans. In the process, we take a critical look at upcoming relationships and effects. Our aim is to collectively develop a speculative sensing space - a human-scale environment whose atmospheric parameters such as light, temperature and air circulation are regulated by our ‘green control center’.

This is a hands-on seminar. It includes three workshops in which we grow plants under different conditions, learn the basics of DIY electronics / sensor technologies and program control systems with Arduino / ESP32 microcontrollers, motor-driven devices and light sources. Furthermore, we discuss corresponding examples of artistic research in the context of media art.

Requirements for participation: Interest in exploring plant environments, enthusiasm for tinkering and experimenting with DIY electronics, commitment to group work and passion for creating speculative spaces of experience. No prior knowledge is necessary, participants need their own computer / laptop.

Please send your registration by Sunday (20 October) via e-mail, subject ‘The Plant Plant’, with a short letter of motivation (3-4 sentences) to christian.doeller@uni-weimar.de.

Timo: /* CompoDry – Demontage durch Kompostierung */

Find 3 art projects /Products that use microorganisms and present the Why/What/How in a minute. (group work 2 people)

Think about a own Project/Product that you also present to the course.

1. https://www.grown.bio/de/produkt/konus-lampe/?v=3a52f3c22ed6

Why: You want to be sustainable while bringing cozy and modern light to your home.

What: Use a specially cultivated mycelium lamp shade that is produced with a very low use of energy and is also handmade within 4 - 10 days.

How: The lamp shade is produced with a very low use of energy and is also handmade within 4 - 10 days, it will grow into shape and is then assembled with the electronics.

2. http://www.oliverk.org/art-projects/research/slime-mold-oracle

Why: You have trouble making decisions and usually use the help of an oracle to get along with this?

What: Use a slime mold to help you make your decisions.

How: Prepare a oat meal for the mold that he/she can reach with the same circumstances like distance and amount and so on. Label the two or more directions (oat meals) with the options you have and let the slime mold help with your decision. Believe in the decision

Own project/idea:

Why: Need a new kind of interface that gives data, impulses, output that you can use as a source for different artistical aproaches in Music, Visual, Mecanical kinetic...

What: Interface between enviroment, Slime Mold and devices that use CV in shape of a box with electrical connections leading out to get the electrical impulses.

How: The box is transparent but can be covered to keep the light away and has the ability to open small chambers with things like water, food, critical materials, that have an effect on the slime mold...the reaction will be measures and can be used via the electrical output that can be hocked up to different devices.

*The lifetime of small electrical devices is still short and the process of recycling the components is not worthwhile. Improving the recycling-process of electronic devices.
*Two principles were pursued here: Firstly, as many non-electrical components as possible should be compostable. Secondly, electrical parts and components made of different metals should be separated through a rotting process so that they can be reused or collected by type.
*This work explores the use of compostable materials in small electrical devices and tries to answer the question: what if, at the end of a biodegradation process, only components made of recyclable materials remained that could be reused or collected separately.
*Mycel is ideal for printed circuits boards because it is electrically insulating, heat-resistant up to 250°C.
