Plant Emote

The bio-sonification of plants translated spatial audio, powered by solar, and human touch for a live broadcast.

Energy Flow

Plants + Sound + Touch
When the electrocurrent of a plant is altered, through interactions like human touch, the change in the translation of the biometric data from the sensors creates a change in pitch in the audio.

Touch Interaction


Solar Bio-Sonification
Components of the circutry were powered by a portable solar panel to reconnect the system with the natural world.

By powering the system with solar power, the energy cycle is less wasteful, and considers the needs of the plant.

Live Performance
This project was developed with an Arduino, and Max MSP in partnership with Alissa Kusher.
