Empathic Limb Clinic is an immersive sensory experience for one person at a time. It offers you the chance to cultivate the mind and reconsider your relationship with nature.

This unique live artwork blends horticulture with neuroscience. Cat Jones invites you into The Plantarum, a mobile field laboratory of micro-experiments for an experience that may literally change your mind.

Jones leads you in an intimate conversation between the human mind and flora. She takes you on a surprising internal journey through deep time from the past, the present, into the future to raise questions that are global and social, political and personal.

Fieldwork poses questions about the present and future state of the anthropocene.
