Beschreibung:
Visual artist Diana Scherer is one of the pioneers in bio tech art. Scherer lives and works in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, where she studied fine art at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Her work comprises botany, installations, textile and biotechnology. Scherer explores the relationship of people versus their natural environment. Through her installations she examines the boundaries between plant culture and nature. At the core of her botanical installations and textiles lies a great curiosity about what neurobiologists call ‘the brain of plants’. Scherer studies plants and root systems and applies the intelligence of plants in her work.
