Allison turned a light on to cause the plant to open up, and then promptly turned the light off, over and over again. I, and some others, were surprised at the torture-type approach to working with the plants. There was also a work in Symbiotica’s Still, Living: Verena Kaminiarz’s Ich Vergleiche Mich Zu Dir . In this work, Verena used a particular type of flatworm that can regenerate body tissue. She caused the flatworm to grow another head and then filmed it unsuccessfully trying to swim in both directions endlessly for the rest of its short life. Although she did put up a commemorative gallery of portraits of the flatworms, I found it very sad. She called it ‘tragic realism’. But hey, I don’t like bot abuse either.

Tell me about electricity? Did you invent electricity, that sort of thing. They stayed and stayed and stayed. In fact, the children I graciously let go before me turned out to have been back 3 times to talk to Ben. Meanwhile, I prepared my bad behavior question (what these botmasters call “pool” qustions). Did you marry John Adams to invent the President? To my chagrin, pithy Ben replied with a rather riddling axiom. Apparently he saw me coming. [...] […] I watched as children asked a variety of questions. Tell me about electricity? Did you invent electricity, that sort of thing. They stayed and stayed and stayed.
