About the project

I am inviting you, people voyaging through the hyperspeedy international space of cyberculture, to plant a tree in our old planet. Through this project you will give birth to seeds gathered from a unique, majestic and sexually active beech tree.

221 people from 38 different countries are growing tree seedlings which originate from the tree, creating a natural network of roots which grows freely inside and around the earth.

Among these people are a wide range of artists, musicians, architects, writers and thinkers. They make this site grow - to learn how, visit People with Trees.
 
 

What is art in terrestrial transgression?

To transgress:  To go beyond or over (a limit or boundary).
To act in violation of (the law, for example).  To trespass; sin.

When you grow your own tree from a seed, part of your soul grows within the tree. It is mixed with the tree's wood, leaves, pollen, seeds and fruit, and nourishes the planet.

After your body dies, your soul continues to grow and spiral with the rings of the tree for hundreds of years, transgressing the normal limits of human lifetime.

In October 2000, for the 5th year of this project, I travelled to the United States and gathered seeds from the tree.  If you would like to receive some of the seeds, simply send a creative contribution in the spirit of terrestrial transgression.

Your contribution can be images (maximum 50k), text, music or a link.  What you send will be posted on People with Trees and later be included in an exhibition in the real world.  If you prefer, you can send a financial contribution and be listed as a Project Sponsor.

Be sure to include your mailing address so I can send you 12 seeds with easy-to-follow growing instructions.

With care and luck, three or four of your 12 seeds will germinate and grow to trees,

to be planted in the planet according to your desire.
