Slowlife is a traveling multi-media science/art educational exhibit thatwill include video, live plants, photographic prints, and interactiveenvironments. The exhibit was originally designed by plant biologist Dr.Roger Hangarter in collaboration with artist, Dennis Dehart. Built oncore series time-lapse movies, the exhibit will attempt to convey to apublic audience that plants are complex living beings instead ofornamental inanimate objects. By combining time-lapse movies withartistic elements that demonstrate various plant movements and growthresponses, the exhibit accurately and effectively combines science andart in a way that provides scientists and non-scientists with a novelway of learning some basic plant biology. The exhibit lets viewersexperience a sense of intrigue, mystery, and a bit of awe, all of whichcontribute to enhancing their awareness of plant life. The experiencealso provides viewers with an opportunity to reflect on theirrelationship to plants and their environment. The original exhibit had adebut installation at the Indiana University School of Fine ArtsGallery. The traveling exhibit being built through this award isscheduled to open at the U.S. Botanic Garden Conservatory on theNational Mall in Washington DC in October, 2005. Following thatinstallation, it will be shown at the Chicago Botanic Garden in June,2006. During the two installations in Washington, DC and Chicago, it isestimated that 900,000 people will see the exhibit. It will travel thecountry for the following 5 to 7 years.

慢生活是一个流动的多媒体科学/艺术教育展览，将包括视频，活植物，摄影版画，和互动环境。这个展览最初是由植物生物学家罗杰·汉加特博士与艺术家丹尼斯·德哈特合作设计的。该展览将以系列延时电影为基础，试图向公众传达植物是复杂的生物，而不是植物无生命的物体。通过将延时电影与展示各种植物运动和生长反应的艺术元素相结合，展览准确有效地将科学和艺术结合起来，为科学家和非科学家提供了一种学习一些基本植物生物学的新方法。这个展览让观众体验到一种神秘感，神秘感和一点敬畏，所有这些都有助于提高他们对植物生命的认识。这种体验也为观众提供了一个反思他们与植物及其环境关系的机会。最初的展览在印第安纳州大学美术学院画廊展出。通过这个奖项正在建造的巡回展览计划于2005年10月在华盛顿国家广场的美国植物园温室开放。在那之后，它将于2006年6月在芝加哥植物园展出。 在华盛顿和芝加哥的两个装置期间，估计将有90万人参观展览。 它将在接下来的5到7年里在这个国家旅行。
