Zu jeder Jahreszeit schläft sie draußen. Auch im Winter bei Minusgraden und Schnee. Sie sorgt sich um die Pflanzen und Tiere um sich herum – das einfache Leben ist ihre Philosophie. So ist sie schon über 90 Jahre alt geworden. Aber nicht immer war ihr Leben einfach und ruhig. Was sie alles erlebt hat, erzählt sie in dieser kleinen Dokumentation.

„A frosty morning in the tundra near the Kola wind power plant. It’s freezing outside, and the temperature is below 20 degrees. Because of this, the light is refracted, forming a light column.“

I made a film about the project and promised folks I’d return every two years to show off the plot and see how the trees and bushes are going. This was a special day because I really felt like the project had landed. I had a cup of tea in the new forest, from water boiled on a fire made from the forest itself. It’s perhaps the most profound cup of tea I’ve ever had.

Bamboos are a diverse group of mostly evergreen perennial flowering plants making up the subfamily Bambusoideae of the grass family Poaceae. Bamboos include some of the fastest-growing plants in the world, due to a unique rhizome-dependent system. Certain species of bamboo can grow 91 centimetres within a 24-hour period, at a rate of almost 40 millimeters an hour (equivalent to 1 mm every 90 seconds).This rapid growth and tolerance for marginal land, make bamboo a good candidate for afforestation, carbon sequestration and climate change mitigation.

Today, AD travels to the woodlands of Oregon to tour the breathtaking Newberg Residence, a remarkable home designed to exist in harmony with the nature surrounding it. Perched over an old logging pond, this one-of-a-kind home is the work of Jim Cutler of Cutler Anderson Architects, who envisioned a structure not imposed on the land, but integrated with it. Built like a bridge over water, the residence is a testament to Cutler’s philosophy: to never harm natural life through his work, but instead to foster and encourage it. In the decade since its construction, the surrounding landscape has flourished, with wildlife, water, and woodland thriving around the home.

In this groundbreaking video an apple tree is playing a guitar and a handpan at the same time. We used bio-sonification equipment and our DIY bionic arms to enable the tree to literally play the instruments.

The electrical signals from the leaves are converted into MIDI using a Spad Electronics Midisprout and then converted into movement using a Dadamachines Automat toolkit. There’s also a bit of clever routing in Ableton to send the signals to the different arms.

„I am a 27-year conductor with the same railroad company. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me while on a train. This happened while sitting stationary waiting for signal to continue westward. This happened during the afternoon hours on May 26th 2024. The Nebraska tornado outbreak.

When grown-up jellyfish love each other very much, they make huge numbers of teeny-tiny potato-shaped larvae. Those larvae grow into little polyps that cling to rocks and catch prey with their stinging tentacles. But their best trick is when they clone themselves by morphing into a stack of squirming jellyfish pancakes.
