This work originated in 1992/93 as the first joint work of the two artists. It was shown world-wide and also was part of the permanent exhibition of the ZKM Media Museum in Karlsruhe. The viewer enters a dark area of 6x7.5 meters, into which five platforms with five different plants face a 4x3 meters-large projection in a semicircle. If the visitor comes close to a plant or touches it, then different virtual plants grow in the projection. Each real plant is assigned a type of a virtual plant. With each interaction the screen fills more and more, and one ends with a jungle of ferns, grasses and mosses. Using a cactus that functions as an eraser, the viewer can wipe the screen again. |
