Squash & Stretch: The Secret Life of Zucchinis
Timelapse recording and microscopic animation reveal the unseen worlds of greenhouse plants. Squash & Stretch: The Secret Life of Zucchinis documents two research projects based at Concordia University. Alison Reiko Loader’s Kinder/Garden examines surveillance and control through the assisted reproduction of foetal vegetables, while Owen Chapman’s (Opositive) Calling the Voice-O-Graph explores challenges to diffusion and cross-pollination faced by sample-based music. Web cameras controlled by donated computers captured the movements of summer squash in Concordia’s rooftop garden located in downtown Montreal, and microscopy was performed in researcher Tagny Duff’s Fluxmedia Lab. An abridged version of Opositive’s “Hear the Wind” supplies the groove.
The following are documentation videos embedded in blog posts but assembled here for easy viewing. You can also visit Kinder/Garden at Vimeo for longer descriptions of each movie file.
