About this event
Špela Petrič, an intermedia artist with a doctorate in biology, spent time inside Dutch industrial greenhouses to make Eating Back. The result is an environment rather than a hang: algorithmic tomato and cucumber cultivation, automation and surveillance made visible, and a pointed question about who is really being farmed. Curated by Alenka Trebušak.
