This approach can be traced to Aristotle’s claim that plants lack comprehension, senses, and motion. In medicine, the state called “vegetable” indicates a loss of consciousness, thought, recognition, and ability to absorb information from the surroundings. This innovative collaboration between an artist and a scientist has subverted the common notions we hold about plants. Yasmine Meroz, who studies plants’ memory and decision making – research being conducted as part of the GrowBot project, with financing by the European Union.

Their motion is based on scientific data from the research of Dr. The stalks are coated with carbon fibers, a material that incorporates both organic and artificial qualities, imparting to the stalks a futuristic feeling. Similar to plants in nature, their motion follows the light and adapts as it changes. The artist Liat Segal, known for her sophisticated use of technology, has created giant stalks that respond to changing light in the gallery space. We have before us a field of robotic “plants,” which traces the characteristics and behaviors of real plants. Tropism, plants’ motion in response to stimuli, is expressed by the carbon-fiber mechanical shoots as they follow the artificial magenta sunrises and sunsets.Ĭurators Text | Dr. Inspired by natural plant behavior, the large-scale shoots slowly move in response to the changing light. Sefy HendlerĪ field of robotic plants is positioned at the gallery space.

The mission is a collaborative effort between SpaceX (shuttle) on behalf of Axiom Space in cooperation with NASA, in which four crew members conducted science, art and outreach activities.

Axiom Mission 1 (Ax-1) is the first private astronaut mission on the International Space Station (ISS). ‘Impossible Object’ was activated and documented on the International Space Station (ISS) by astronaut Eitan Stibe during mission AX-1, April 2022. ‘Impossible Object’ is a research-based artwork, where micro-gravity physics is the medium. In the absence of gravitation, what is the shape of a piece of sea or a handful of a wave? The sculpture’s composition of rods and tubes resembles a wavy staircase that has no directionality. With no gravitation to direct the water downwards, the water adheres to the sculpture’s metal structure, forming a dynamic three-dimensional liquid composition, shaped by the water’s surface tension and its tendency to cling to the structure due to adhesion forces. The sculpture is built as a composition of brass rods and tubes, through which water flows. The liquid’s three-dimensional form does not get its shape from any vessel and as such cannot exist on earth, but only in outer space in the absence of gravity. ‘Impossible Object’ is a sculpture made of liquid water.
