Michael Pollan spends a lot of time empathizing with plants. The slow-food poster boy, best known for The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, has also penned a number of books on gardening, the most renowned of which is The Botany of Desire: A Plant's-Eye View of the World, an exploration of the idea that plants use humans as much as we use them. Today, with P.F.1 (Public Farm One, the working farm installed outside P.S.1) as a backdrop, Pollan lectures on how seeing things from a plant's-eye view (even though only evil mutant plants have eyes) could help solve our environmental problems.
