http://fields.seedsunderground.net , the web work of 20 minute duration is based on the court documents of the case Vernon Hugh Bowman v. Monsanto in which farmer Bowman was charged for infringing patented transgenic soybean seeds sold by Monsanto. Taking the 74 pages of court documents of the oral argument held in the Supreme Court of the United States on February 19, 2013, this webwork ‘dissolves’ and ‘disrupts’ the court’s hearing by scrambling the texts into ever-replicating soybean seeds. The seeds carried by the wind are randomly distributed across the vast farmland, making the case of the divine intervention.
