This Virtual Nursery is an exhibition of 100 digital artefacts co-created by plant-lovers and their plants from across the world. Created through the Hundreds + Thousands (Multi-City): Germination workshops, the Virtual Nursery presents what happens when hundreds of humans and plants come together to commune and collaborate under the guidance of artists Daniel Kok and Luke George. You’re invited to convene in the Virtual Nursery on each evening of Liveworks, where these artefacts will ‘sprout’ for 100 minutes per night.
Hundreds + Thousands (Multi-City) is a small art movement enlisting the participation of plants as collaborators, mediators and audience. Relating with plants from the basis of what they know (what do plants know?), Hundreds + Thousands rearranges the experience of the visual, the sensual and the sensible to catch a glimpse of a world where the human is not at the centre.
Connecting human and plant participants from Sydney, Perth, Hong Kong and across the world, Hundreds + Thousands (Multi-City) is a year-long social choreographic process. The process begins with this specially-conceived workshop and exhibition series, and culminates as live performance presentations in the 3 cities in 2022.
