"knowbotiq covers this landscape with digitally printed agricultural foils, inscribing other visual narrations and time jumps into the landscape. The artistic project is inserting ornamental lines between the high-tech agriculture fields of Austrians “Pleasure-region/Genussregion” and the postcolonial plantation economies. The harvesting of fruit and vegetables is preceded by a multitude of machinic-rhythmic processes of sowing and growthing. Precarious human labour connects on the fields symbiotically with agricultural machinery in order to stimulate the plants towards an optimized exploit."
