AI & Theatre: A Discussion at the Library for the Performing Arts
With the development of technology, there is a wide use of Al in many aspects of our lives. The Library for the Performing Arts invites you to an afternoon discussion next Thursday.

B
On a low hill near the coast of Maine, colorful flowers glow in the May sunlight, while new plants emerge from the soil. This is Dandy Ram Farm, run by Bo Dennis, who grows flowers for weddings and other special events.
“When people come to us, we say, ‘This is what we’re good at: local, sustainably grown flowers,’” Dennis says. “Sometimes clients ask for out-of-season flowers. I say, ‘Great! Have a good celebration. I don’t think we’re the right fit for you.’”
What Dennis grows won’t be found in supermarkets or big-box stores. The flowers that fill those shelves are imports, and they are part of an enormously successful international market that sells blooms thousands of miles from their fields of origin and earns more than $25 billion every year. But pesticides and other agrochemicals required to sustain that scale of production can injure workers and their families. Studies in Ecuador, the world’s third-largest flower exporter, link flower farm chemicals to children’s attention problems and birth abnormalities. And the risks extend to people around the world. In Belgium, florists (花商) with imported flowers had unhealthy levels of pesticide chemicals on their gloves, levels high enough to burn the skin if it wasn’t protected.
In response, small U. S. operations such as Dennis’s Dandy Ram Farm are building a new agricultural model — a “slow flower movement,” which offers a cleaner, greener alternative to modern floral production.
