Diana Scherer - Interwoven - Exercises in Root System Domestication

Visual artist Diana Scherer is one of the pioneers in bio tech art. Her work comprises botany, installations, textile and biotechnology. Scherer explores the relationship of people versus their natural environment. Through her installations she examines the boundaries between plant culture and nature. 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. This book summarized the project Interwoven and its results over the past eight years. The book with a conceptual design addresses biotechnology and research, in addition to the final results and artworks.
