A version of psychobotany called “Psychobotanikon” was mounted at the Center for New Music in San Francisco. It was an interesting experience for me because it felt like PlantHaus for adults (there was a grand pianist as the closing act and Michael Dooley performed at both).

Laura Cohen asked me to participate in an absurdist symposium called Group Therapy. I was assigned a time and a room. In the past, I’ve done these photobooths with the overhead projector. Some people have interacted with that and interacted a similar way at this event. I specifically took a less active role in the…
