50 Year oOd Bonzai Tree Into Space for Exobiotanica Project
Tokyo-based artist azuma makoto in collaboration with john powell of JP aerospace have completed a botanical space flight,
sending a japanese white pine bonsai suspended from a carbon-fiber
frame, and an arrangement of orchids, hydrangeas, lilies and irises,
among other plants into the stratosphere. launched with a specially
equipped balloon from black rock desert in nevada, the mission, entitled
‘exbiotanica’, was conceptualized to let different plants step into the
unknown, away from earth.
