[spectre] The Traveling Plant goes to Kepler's Gardens

[Annick Bureaud]

 Dear Friends and Colleagues,

What do you do when, for the first time in (your) history, you can't make
it to Linz?
Easy: you create a new collective project that is going to be premiered at
Ars Electronica 2020!

It is called 'The Traveling Plant', starting now, unfolding slowly over
several years.
Have a look and Stay Tuned, more to come soon!

All the Best
Annick Bureaud

*Where do you start when you are a plant that wants to travel the world?
What kind of plant are you actually? Real, fictitious, imaginary,
artificial? Which carriers are you going to take? Which routes are you
going to follow? How do you seek recommendations? Is it safe?*



Plants travel. By themselves with the wind and clouds. Helped by other
living creatures such as birds or humans. Sometimes the humans carry them
involuntarily under the sole of their shoes or hidden in their luggage,
sometimes voluntarily.



*The Veridical Travel Around The World of A True Imaginary Plant *is the
umbrella title for a series of new artworks and events that will be created
and take place in different times and locations around the world, unfolding
over several years, under the direction of a network of participating
organisations and curators.

The Traveling Plant project traces the voyage of a plant around the world,
of whom and what it encounters.
