Athenaeum Series Presents 'Plant Sense and Hybrid Communication' Feb. 27
Kent Library's Athenaeum Lecture Series will present "Plant Sense and Hybrid Communication" at noon on Wednesday, Feb. 27, in Sadie's Place in Kent Library. The presentation will be given by Alex Adkinson, a Southeast graduate student currently studying sculpture, and who has conducted ecology and arts research through the University of Minnesota, the University of California-Berkeley and the U.S. Forest Service. Adkinson will explore an array of sensing and communicative abilities in plant life uncovered through emergent technologies and ecological science research. This presentation will focus on the nature and possible implications of plant agency as well as how people may interface with, learn from, and move towards a more collaborative relationship with plant life. Connections will be drawn to art practice, digital cultures and philosophy.
