Organised by artist Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg, University of Exeter and the University of Edinburgh, this is an evening of talks and discussion by the artist and researchers who are studying gardens in Constantine that have been planted as part of Dr Ginsberg’s Pollinator Pathmaker artwork.
Originally commissioned in 2020 by the Eden Project, Dr Ginsberg’s Pollinator Pathmaker is an algorithmic planting tool that prioritises the tastes of bees, butterflies and other pollinators. A network of Pollinator Pathmaker artworks have been planted throughout the village of Constantine, monitored and cared for by local residents. Funded by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), researchers from the University of Exeter and the University of Edinburgh are studying the network, investigating what happens when an artwork becomes part of everyday life, for both humans and pollinators.
An independent event organised by Dr Alexandra Daisy Ginsberg and the Universities of Exeter and Edinburgh, presented at CAST.
