A pile of seed bombs gradually spreads across the floor of Science Gallery Dublin, hands shaping mud, clay, and seeds in the culmination of a project to sow plants into the gaps of top-down city planning. A helicopter drone lazily swings from the ceiling upstairs, next to a video of the footage it collected when […]
