INVESTIGATIONS/INSTALLATIONS
Arising from the initial research we performed on the ultrasonic acoustic emissions - and hence possible communication - in plant roots, that materialized in the video-work Dialogue with 02.205, (reference1) we decided to continue this exploration. This now with the overarching goal of creating a form of live installation where the roots acoustic emission will be registered, amplified, down-sampled and played back to an audience so that they can have a physical experience of the possible sonic communication within plants.
The initial studies stem from the relatively new scientific field of bio-acoustics; “the branch of science concerned with sounds produced by or affecting living organisms, especially as relating to communication." (reference2) Research...
