--- Origin of Collaboration ---
Our collaborative project, "Ethereal Herbal Invocation," stems from my deep interest in electronic witchcraft and Jenny's profound experiences at a plant alchemy workshop. As an artist exploring the intersection of the virtual and physical worlds, I have always been passionate about Electronir Witchcraft. This phenomenon has emerged on virtual internet platforms, exhibiting a mystical quality that caters to people's need for relaxation and stress relief. When scientific methods fail to address certain life challenges, esotericism becomes an alternative for cyber believers. In the virtual space, they find communities of like-minded individuals facing similar anxieties, fostering a sense of resonance and collective support.
Jenny delved into the practice of spagyrics during the plant alchemy workshop. This ancient alchemical process involves extracting, purifying, and combining substances from plants. She gained ancient herbal wisdom and insight into the mystical properties of plants, as well as ways to establish a spiritual connection between humans and plants. This experience inspired us to combine our interests and expertise, exploring the intersection of herbalism and digital mysticism.
We decided to create an interactive art installation that merges the ancient wisdom of plant alchemy with the modern technology of electronic witchcraft. This new form of tech-ritual experience aims to reconnect audiences with the deep relationship between nature and spirituality through a multi-sensory immersive experience, facilitating psychological and spiritual healing.
