echoes – soundforum bonn, the new sound art project of the Beethoven Foundation for Art and Culture of the Federal City of Bonn, combines artistic and scientific research. For the annual theme Biodiversity of Plants, the Bonn City Sound Artists appointed for 2023 are working closely with the Nees Institute for Plant Biodiversity at the University of Bonn as a cooperation partner. As early as October 2022, the two were able to travel together with members of the international research network CRC1211 (Earth – Evolution at the dry limit) on an excursion to the Atacama Desert in Chile to take part in studies on the development of plants in extremely water-scarce areas.
After initial on-site research in Bonn in January and March 2023, Roswitha von den Driesch and Jens-Uwe Dyffort are now making their first public presentation in the city of Bonn.
