Art & Science Node: Joanna Hof

The ASN application contains artworks by Joanna Hoffmann: RhiZone: [PapiLLa] and Vitruvian WoMan [Poem].
RhiZone[PapiLLa] is and artwork inspired by the research on the plants communication system, especially rhizosphere, the underground root-fungal-microorganism networks, (the so-called Wood Wide Web).
The immersive environment of RhiZone: [PapiLLa] combines biological data with an imaginary future world when organic and inorganic networks will merge into one whole of Big Data processing.
It might be perceived as an imaginative organ of cyber symbiosis or a seed of new hybrid entity.
The piece immerses the viewer in a imaginative semi-biological network in which the boundaries between micro and macro systems, between organic and inorganic data processing are blurred.
Vitruvian Woman [Poem1] is one of the set of performative poems which recall the renaissance tradition of humanisti exploring relations between a human being and nature in a post-natural world.
The AR poem draws an imaginative thread through time and space, combining text, sound, image and movement.
