 The seeds of a vegetal culture are served to be tasted, heard, smelled, touched and experienced. The tables are lined with fragile but responsive tableware: singing sprouts, humming soil, algorithmic trees, a slowly morphing floral painting, an absurdist audiobook and a machine transforming physical humans into digital plants. There are small gifts next to each table setting: boxes of seedballs with seeds collected from local seed-saving groups, lovingly rolled and dried over weeks. A multitude of complex, contradictory concepts are chopped, mixed, boiled and roasted into vegetal dishes. The research is there to be savoured and digested rather than analysed and critiqued. The stories are diffused by the researchers, then absorbed by visitors. The lighting is subdued and jittery, as whirring motors project leafy shadows on the dining room walls. Glimpses of an alternate reality where plants and humans became interchangeable. The seeds of a vegetal culture are served to be tasted, heard, smelled, touched and experienced.
