the growth rendering device is a kinetic sculpture that is draws images of a small plant based on its
growth patterns. the project’s creator is david bowen, an artist working as a professor at the university of
minnesota duluth. the sculpture provides light and food to a small plant being grown hydroponicly inside
a vase. as the plant grows, the system reacts by producing rasterized inkjet drawings of it every twenty
four hours. each time a drawing is complete the roll of paper moves forward to make room for the next
drawing. bowen points out however that ‘this system is allowed to run indefinitely and the final outcome
is not predetermined.'
