Beyond their productive function, greenhouses are places where humans, plants, and machines meet; a site where socio-economic and geopolitical regimes are sheltered from social scrutiny. Within them, intricate stories of our day-to-day food production are weaved out of both visible and invisible threads.

In this episode of ‘The Digital Deal Podcast’, host Ana-Maria Carabelea invites Media Art artist Špela Petrič (whose artistic practice combines natural sciences, biomedia, and performance), interdisciplinary artist and researcher Penelope Cain, and PhD researcher Carolien Lubberhuizen, to a debate on the media construction of these food incubators, delving into their history, connections and the work carried out there. 

This and other episodes of the podcast - developed by the European Digital Deal project - are available on the Ars Electronica website and streaming platforms (Apple Podcast, Spotify, etc.).
