Biodata Device with Plants for performance art & theatre

In this unique installation, technology and nature intertwine in a captivating manner. A specialized biodata device is connected to a plant, capturing its most intimate reactions. When the plant is touched, the device measures its metabolism. These biological data are then transformed into a MIDI signal. This signal is translated into sounds by a computer, resulting in music. The outcome? The plants “speak” through music, allowing visitors to experience direct communication with nature via sound. It’s a mesmerizing interplay of plant communication, interactive art, and sound transformation that bridges the gap between technology and organic life.
