a live work for radio about communication with plants, in three parts.
Based on diagrams found in the CKatherine’s archives, Drs. Kate Donovan & Ryan McFadyen re-built an intricate system of devices in order to enable communication with plants, via a dot matrix printer.
The devices were tried and tested live on air, for the very first time, together with garden host Gabi Schaffner. Over the course of a few days, both the technology and the connection with plants was slowly developed further, amounting to what can only be described as an incredible breakthrough in human-plant interaction.
In this show, you will hear parts one and three.
It was originally broadcast on Datscha Radio 17 in Berlin.
This series is dedicated to broadcasting various forms of radio and transmission art.
