Project Description
In BioHarmonics, the plant is no longer a silent ornament anchored to the corner of a room. It becomes an instrument, a transmitter, a living waveform. Every leaf tremor, every subtle shift of moisture and conductivity is translated into pulses of light and sound. Touch becomes frequency; contact becomes resonance. This project listens to the inaudible. Beneath the calm surface of the plant’s body lies a continuous negotiation with the environment—electrical whispers of growth, resistance, and adaptation. Through capacitive sensing, BioHarmonics captures those invisible variations and allows them to travel across circuits, oscillators, and spectral analyzers. The plant’s inner fluctuations bloom outward into expanding rings of color, erupting particle clouds, and trembling spectral bars. The screen becomes a stage where biology and computation perform together, not as separate systems, but as a shared organism of energy. The sonic dimension transforms the plant into a composer. Its touch triggers tones derived from the harmonic architecture of the Western scale, yet the timing and intensity arise from gestures that are organic, irregular, and unrepeatable. No two interactions are ever the same. BioHarmonics is an invitation to rethink communication across species and across mediums. It frames technology not as a tool of domination but as a membrane—thin enough to transmit the inflections of one life-form into the sensorium of another. Light, color, and vibration become a shared syntax, a bridge between human and plant, between the measurable and the ineffable. Ultimately, the work asks us to listen differently. To see differently. To recognize that the world is filled with frequencies we were never taught to perceive. In giving the plant a stage, BioHarmonics reveals that every living entity carries a music of its own—subtle, persistent, and astonishingly alive.
