“…One major hurdle for breeding past F 1 will be space to grow and evaluate offspring, which hopefully will be solved by a distributed "open source" development model. All these aims are initiated using extremely lowtech equipment and technologies (grafting [46] and cut style manual pollination [47][48]) in a residential setting in Merelbeke, Belgium with a hope for a future distributed development model at multiple locations.…”

Genetic signs of domestication of plants and animals date as far back as the oldest known evidence for other artistic expressions like painting, music and sculpture. Breeding is often seen as a science or a craft and is rarely considered art. The Bifrost art project aims to combine the spectacular bark and growth rate of the rainbow gum Eucalyptus deglupta with the cold hardiness of the cider gum Eucalyptus gunnii and possibly other cold-hardy species. The cold hardiness introgression should make it possible to grow amazing rainbow-colored trees in a European or North American climate. The project has been initiated and is expected to continue for decades or centuries in a distributed, participatory, manner. The project explores breeding as an art form, and through extension landscape and ecosystem manipulations that may last beyond the time when human kind has driven itself to its extinction. The project also questions commonly held beliefs about "pristine" and "natural" as being better than "artificial" and "anthropogenic".

“…After discovering that different treatments in stile and stigma during anthesis could immediately induce flower receptivity [3], it was developed the OSP (One Stop Pollination) technique [4]. Later it was found that this receptiveness could be achieved just before anthesis [5].…”
