PLANT INTELLIGENCE
Free entry | registration until 27.10.

Against the backdrop of the current wasting of the world, we must think of other ways—vegetal ways—of worlding: ways that do not consume the world, but re/produce it. Co-Composing it with plants, we might learn to learn like them. Also, in the arts.
The SNF research project «Plants_Intelligence. Learning Like a Plant» (2022-25) is coming to an end. In the framework of an international symposium, it brings together the artistic team (Yvonne Volkart, Felipe Castelblanco, Julia Mensch, and Rasa Smit) with leading theorists, scientists, artists, curators and activists to discuss its findings with the audience. Theoretical, artistic, and experimental formats open up the discourse on plant intelligence and show how plants can be approached aesthetically and politically as intentional and cognizing beings.
Symposium language: English
Organized by Team Plants_Intelligence. Basel Academy of Art and Design FHNW in cooperation with HEK House of Electronic Arts Basel.
