Studio Roosegaarde, Dutch
Grow, 2021
The interconnection between science and art comes to life with Roosegaarde’s Grow installation in the Netherlands. Using light recipes consisting of red, blue, and ultraviolet, the dancing colors are projected across a leek field. These colors are scientifically proven to enhance plant growth and reduce the use of harmful pesticides that pollute our environment. This dreamscape illuminates the need for sustainable farming while simultaneously offering a scientific solution through art. Grow reframes agriculture, calling us to appreciate its beauty and what it provides to us, while encouraging new innovations that will prioritize the health of our environment and all living creatures.
