SUMMARY

Hans Munthe-Kaas from the University of Bergen has created a labyrinth composed of tall plants for the upcoming Abel Prize celebration. The labyrinth features a hexagonal design and incorporates potted plants, allowing for a customizable layout. This innovative approach adds an element of surprise and confusion for visitors. The discussion also explores the potential for a dynamic, traveling exhibit utilizing Amazon pallet mover robots to rearrange the maze in real-time.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of labyrinth design principles
  • Familiarity with plant selection for outdoor installations
  • Knowledge of modular exhibit design
  • Basic concepts of robotics and automation in exhibitions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research labyrinth design techniques and their psychological effects on visitors
  • Explore plant species suitable for outdoor labyrinths and their maintenance
  • Investigate modular exhibit design strategies for flexibility in layout
  • Learn about the integration of robotics in dynamic art installations
USEFUL FOR

Landscape architects, exhibit designers, event planners, and anyone interested in innovative public art installations.

Hans Munthe-Kaas of the University of Bergen has designed a new labyrinth made of tall plants which will be the part of next year’s celebration for the winner of the Abel Prize.

Picture and short story here.

I like the look of its hexagonal design.
Interestingly, because some of the plants are in pots, its layout can be modified.
Further confusing the confused.

Awesome! Now if only they could make this a traveling exhibit...

Imagine if the pots were on those Amazon pallet mover robots and then you could orchestrate a dynamic maze from which no one could escape.
