I CHOSE 5 EASILY GROWING PLANTS - 3 TYPES OF SALAD, DWARF TOMATOES AND BASIL. I SORTED THEM TO 2 GROUPS - ONE WHICH WILL FLY IN COSMOS (WITH STAR) AND THE TEST GROUP.
PACKAGE WHICH WHERE LOADED IN PROBE LIFTED MY METEOBALOON.
ACTUAL PHOTO FROM PROBE ( IT WAS ABLE TO TAKE PHOTOS) FROM ALITUDE 27878. THE HIGHEST POINT OF FLIGHT WAS ABOUT 32KM ABOVE SEA LEVEL.
THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH LANDING. PROBE FELL IN HIGH TREE BRANCHES AND STAYED THERE FOR 2 WEEKS BEFORE ALPINISTS MANAGED TO TAKE IT DOWN.
I MADE 5 FLOWERBEDS FOR PLANTS. EACH BED WAS DIVADED IN 2 PARTS FOR BOTH SALADS GROUPS TO PROVIDE SIMILAR LIGHT AND WATER CONDITIONS.

TEXTS WITH NAMES OF PLANTS AND NOTES IS IT OR NOT SPACE SEED.
FIRST SEEDLINGS.
AS I DID NOT HAVE BIG EXPIERENCE WITH GARDENING I MISSED RIGHT PERIOD FOR HARVEST PICKING. IN A RESULT SALADS QUICKLY STARTED TO BLOOM AND MADE SEEDS, LOOSING ALL LEAFES. IT HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PLANNED PROJECTS FINAL PART - DEGUSTATION. SO I WAS FORCED TO PROLONG PROJECT AND MAKE NEW SEEDING.
DAY BEFORE EXTENDED DEADLINE OF PROJECT I SAW, THAT TOMATOES AND NEWLY PLANTED SALAD IS STILL TO IMMATURE. SO I DECIDED TO USE ONLY BASIL, WHICH WAS ALREADY RIPE
IN FINAL PART OF PROJECT "STRATO-SALAD" I MADE PRESENTATION ABOUT WHOLE CURRENT PROJECT. I CHOSE 3 PERSONS WITH MORE DEVELOPED TASTE SCENT FROM PUBLIC (BY MAKING ANOTHER TEST) WHO WOULD TEST STRATO AND ORDINARY BASIL..
PRESENTATION.
I COVERED EACH TASTER WITH FABRIC (TO DEPRIVED VISION), PUT A VERY SPICED SMELL TO HIS NOSE (TO LOSE SMELL SCENT) AND PLAYED SOME MUSIC (TO LOSE HEARING) TO MAKE TASTER TO USE ONLY ITS TASTE.
HERE YOU CAN SEE HOW I MAKE WHOLE IN FABRIC FOR FEEDING TASTER WITH BASIL.

LONG-TERM PSEUDOSCIENTIFIC PROJECT, WHERE I EXPLORED HOW IT IS POSSIBLE TO MEASURE SUBJECTIVE SENCE (TASTE) USING SCIENTIFIC METHODS.
PROJECT "STRATO-SALAD" CONTINUED MORE THAN YEAR, AND INCUDED VARIOUS PARTS AND STUDIES - LIKE ASTRONOMIC RESEARCH, BOTANIC WORKS, SYSTEMATISATION ON OF DATA, PRESENTATION AND "BLIND TESTS".
THE MAIN IDEA WAS TO GET ANSWER TO QUESTION - IS THERE ANY DIFFERNCE IN TASTE BETWEEN SALAD WHO HAS GROWN BY SEEDS WHICH WERE IN COSMOS AND ORDINARY SALAD?
THEREFOR I( IN COLARATION WITH AMATEURASTRONOMS "SPACEPEOPLE.LV) SENT BY METEOBALOON FEW PACKAGES OF SEEDS TO CLOSE COSMOS - STRATOSPHERE , WHERE THEY FLEW FEW HOURS. AFTER IT I PLANT THOSE SEEDS ALONG WITH ORDINARY CONTROL SEEDS. AT THE END OF VEGETATION SESON PLANTS FROM BOTH GROUPS WHERE PRESENTED TO SPECIALLY SELECTED 'TASTERS". THEY, USING ONLY TASTE AND BEING DEPIVED OF VISION, HEARING AND SCENT, SEARCHED IF THERE IS ANY TASTE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ORDINARY AND STRATO-SALAD. AND IT WAS.
FINAL PART OF PROJECT WAS HELD IN PICNIC-PERFORMANCE EVENT SERIES "THE LAST PICNIC."
YOU CAN SEE PROJECT IN DETAILS AND WITH MY NOTES IN PHOTO GALLERY.
PHOTOS BY ME, A.LANDAUS, A. KALNINS."stratosalāti" ir ilgtermiņa pseidozinātnisks mākslas projekts, kura ietvaros es pētīju - vai ir iespējams tik subjektīvu sajūtu kā garšu mērīt, izmantojot zinātniskas metodes. projekts ilga vairāk kā gadu un aptvēra vairākas, ļoti atšķirīgas nozares - kā piemēram - astronomisko pētniecīby, botāniku, dārzkopību, datu sistematizāciju, vizuālu performanci un "aklos testus".
projekta "stratosalāti" pamatjautājums bija - vai ir kāda garšas atšķirība starp salātiem, kas ir audzēti no kosmosā pabijušām sēklām un parastiem salātiem? projekta pirmās daļas ietvaros, sadarbojoties ar amatierastronomu apvienību "spacepeople.lv", tuvējā kosmosā - pie meteobalona pievienotā zondē stratosfērā(32.km.v.j.l.) pacēlās un atradās vairākas sēklu paciņas. vēlāk šīs sēklas tika iesētas, to pašu izdarot arī ar sēklu kontrolgrupu, kuras nekad nav bijušas kosmosā. augu veģetācijas noslēgumā, abu grupu raža tika novākta un to īpašā prezentācijā - performancē testēja īpaši atlasīta degustatoru grupa. degustātoriem tika liegta spēja redzēt,saost un sadzirdēt, lai tie pilnībā varētu koncentrēties garšai, nosakot vai ir vai nav garšas atšķirība starp kosmosā bijušiem un nebijušiem salātiem. testa beigās vairākums balsoja, ka ir.
projekta noslēdzošā daļa norisinājās performanču notikumu sērijas "pēdējie pikniki" ietvaros.foto autori: es, a. landaus, a. kalniņš.
