Abstract
This paper explores a selection of mixed, virtual and extended reality artworks (MR/VR/XR), through the theoretical lens of posthumanism applied to media art, as well as practice led conjunctions of media and devices. Exploring recent works by the authors' and others, we speculate on plant blindness and homo sapiens immersion in the 'technological virtual', arguing this is not necessarily a retreat from the organic. For artist's working with plants as co-composers, this challenge involves avoiding the evolutionary trap of 'plant blindness', while utilising algorithmic processes that are programmed to be blind to the organic.
