What doesn’t belong here is an artistic experiment, a scientific project, a site specific research developed in Genk, Belgium in 2022.
It was developed during this research stay at the LUCA School of Arts – Interactions Research Unit at the Product Design School
How to manage a storm of interconexions? How to simplify complexity in order to make it tangible and easily understandable for the public? How to use art no only as a way of comunication when working with science?
How to generate scientifical knowledge with it?
How do I have to positionate myself in this project? Artist? Designer? Scientist? Creator? Crafter? Researcher?
Addressing the question of Invasive Alien Plant Species and focusing on Fallopia japonica plant, during the research stay I worked around Social, cultural, economical, material, emotional and sensitive implications of this concept (IAS) and to express it trough experimental research and art creation.
The material exploration allow to test paper possibilities, ink extraction and lake pigment precipitation processes with Fallopia japonica raw matter.
