LISTENING ARTS PROGRAMMES
LISTENING TO PLANTS
Three plants play a vintage synth (with no built in sequencer) in real time with midi biodata sonification device. By attaching the two probes to the leaves of a plant the device measures and identifies the tiny electrical current fluctuations the plant generates.
These galvanic fluctuations are turned into midi notes and controls that can be read by synthesizers. This allows the plant to tell us about its environment and the changes that are going on around it.
