Teemu Lehmusruusu Plants “Site-Sensitive” Installation Rooted in Carbon Farming

Field Observatory, a “site-sensitive” installation by Finnish artist Teemu Lehmusruusu opens in Kirjurinluoto park in Pori (FI). Inspired by the root systems of alfalfa and other plants, Lehmusruusu’s “underground weather station” monitors underlying soil conditions and translates that data into a generative animation and soundscape. Drawing on dialogue with farmers and researchers developing carbon farming practices, the installation is a “portal into the volumes of the ground.”
