Via an investigation into the wasteland, robotany, feminist plants, and nature rights, this phytology-love story investigates how contemporary art is mediating the effects of plant-blindness, caused by human disassociation from the natural world. It is also a gesture of respect for the genius of vegetal life, where new science proves plants can learn, communicate, remember, make decisions, and associate. Art is a litmus test for how climate change affects human perception. This book responds to that test by expressing plant-philosophy to a wider public, through an interrogation of plant-art. 410 0$aCritical plant studies ;$vVolume 3. 606 $aNature (Aesthetics) 606 $aPlants 606 $aPlants (Philosophy) 606 $aPhilosophy of nature 606 $aHuman ecology 606 $aArt$xPhilosophy 615 0$aNature (Aesthetics) 615 0$aPlants. 615 0$aPlants (Philosophy) 615 0$aPhilosophy of nature. 615 0$aHuman ecology. 615 0$aArt$xPhilosophy. 676 $a113.8 700 $aGibson$b Prudence$01022413 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796631303321 996 $aThe plant contract$93701667 997 $aUNINA
