- | Stengers’ keynote address will examine sciences and the consequences of what has been called progress. Is it possible to reclaim modern practices, to have them actively taking into account what they felt entitled to ignore in the name of progress? Or else, can they learn to “think with” instead of define and judge?\\ | + | more see: http:// |

In this research project, we look at diverse relationships between humans and plants, and look at creating new imaginaries for human culture of the 21st century. We create an environment in which vegetal imagination (of the past, present and future) can seep into reality of everyday life. One of the possible approaches is to design an alternate reality narrative (ARN) - an immersive story that evolves through the interaction with the players and audiences. The stories could be encountered online – through games, apps and websites - and in the physical world – in objects, surfaces, gardens, farms, parks and green spaces in cities. Each encounter could serve a different purpose; a game might get players to think about what it is to be a plant, whereas a garden might teach visitors how to grow their own food. These encounters are not isolated. Information can flow between the different parts of the narrative, with plant sensors feeding data into a game, game and website interactions being displayed in the real world, through augmented reality devices, physical materials and artefacts. By straddling the online and offline world, the realms of gamers and of gardeners, groWorld | In this research project, we look at diverse relationships between humans and plants, and look at creating new imaginaries for human culture of the 21st century.
