Achim Mohne's DI-GI-TA-LIS A Plant Scan Project is a book project
based on a performance by the media artist, in which a high-tech
process is used to scan plants; the scans of the plants are then
printed out and exhibited in the form of pigment prints. As part of
this artistic activity, chefs turn the plants into vegan dishes and
serve them to the visitors. In his art Mohne studies the function
of pictures, which he regards as a connecting link in social,
interdisciplinary, and intermedia activities. Via the aesthetic
articulation of his photo-based works, the artist refers to
ethical, ecological themes from today's environmental and climate
debates, as well as topics concerning nutrition, consumption, and
sustainability. Mohne's media projects are positioned in the field
of digital media and communications technologies. In DI-GI-TA-LIS
the performative work combine to create an interdisciplinary
discourse, which is developed by authors from the fields of
philosophy, art history, social psychology, medicine, and media
studies.
In the second half of the nineteenth century, plants gained great
popularity as providers of ideas for artistic form. Collections of
designs whose didactic imagery has so far been little researched
circulated at art schools and in the applied arts. The book not
only makes a contribution to the theory and history of images of
plants, but also shows the great topicality of the vegetal in the
art of today. It examines notions of cultural renewal, which are
always connected with the rhythm of the sprouting, growing, and
blooming of plants as well as the political exploitation of flora
in the categories of the homegrown and the national. The image of
plants thus unfolds at the intersection of botany and aesthetics.
