Maria Viftrup & Jordens Hus: Sense of Soil
Soil is the foundation of life on earth. Soil is an archive of the past and a necessity of the future. But do humans have a sense of soil, or can we develop one? How might we train this 鈥楽ense of Soil鈥�?
Everything on earth is related to soil somehow. But the living soil is under pressure in our world today. We might need to train our individual and collective Sense of Soil. Danish artist and speculative designer Maria Viftrup collaborated with the organization Jordens Hus to create a new discipline of 鈥淪oil Sensing鈥� in between art, science and agriculture.
30 Nordic scientists, artists and farmers were invited to contribute with experiments in ways of sensing, understanding and relating to soil. Based on this research Maria Viftrup created a 鈥淪oil Sense Training Facility鈥� where visitors come in close contact with soil matters.
