With the use of high-density LED lights in red and blue hues, the project Grow turns a 20,000 square-meter field of leek into a futuristic landscape. It has been created as part of an artist-in-residence program. It’s being financed by Rabobank, and the installation aims to highlight the importance of agriculture and scientific developments that encourage fruitful crops.
