Mixed media installation with sound and live plants

160 x 160 x 550 cm

Recorded and live music generated by plants on the growing artwork

This growing installation generates music in real-time through live plants. It collects constructive conversations between plants and shares these frequencies with listeners. 

An up cycled piece of a piano is brought back to life by next-generation music producing technology. Data from the plants is collected from the sensors and plant's responses are translated into specific musical parameters such as pitch, rhythm, or volume. Each plant's unique characteristics and responses contribute to the creation of a distinct musical output.

Visitors can interact with the installation by observing and/or engaging with the plants. For example, they might touch the leaves or blow air gently to trigger specific plant responses and influence the generated music. The feedback loop between the plants and the music creates a dynamic and immersive experience.

All plant recordings during the extent of the exhibition will be used for a final musical composition at the closing.
