Dokumentation
Credits



A young scientist from Guian, China, has developed a procedure with which she can store data in the DNA of plants as an alternative to existing data centres. She sends seeds to St. Gilgen in Austria in which secret information is stored and asks a relative of hers to grow it. The ‘Data Garden’ then sprouts and starts to grow. The plant contains memory fragments of the everyday life of a group of female migrant workers in a Chinese electronics factory. The people who assemble our mobile phones appear in a ghost-like way in St. Gilgen. The reality of the production conditions is superimposed ‘augmented reality’ on the place we see.
